Homeless
Services : Overview
Open Door offers a warm and supportive environment
for homeless individuals to come and receive
encouragement and assistance in attaining
their goals. The ultimate objective of our
Homeless Program is to return individuals
to an environment of stable employment and
secure housing.
We strive to provide three
basic functions for the homeless:
1. Meet Basic Needs
Open Door provides hot meals, emergency
food boxes, showers, personal hygiene products,
assistance in finding a warm place to sleep,
a caring environment, and even mailbox and
phone use for contacting loved ones and
potential employers/landlords.
2. Offer The Knowledge & Skills Needed
To Advance
Open Door’s case managers address all
client goals and work with them step by
step to successfully meet these goals. Case
Managers connect clients to other community
resources, to develop skills such as resume
and interview techniques, to basic computer
skills - case managers are there to help
bridge the gaps.
3. Build Esteem and Conquer Barriers
to Self-Sufficiency
Connect individuals to mental health counseling
and other resources to address many different
sources of homelessness, such as addiction,
grief and depression. This kind of counseling
helps encourage long-term success.
Telephone Usage
Clients may make and receive calls for employment,
housing, and medical needs.
Personal Hygiene Facilities
Makes it possible for people to be clean
and presentable for health and self-esteem
issues as well as for job and housing
interviews. Facilities include:
Clean Shower and Restrooms
Some Personal Hygiene Products Available
Upon Request
Day Room
Used for keeping warm and staying inside
during bad weather, and to connect with
other people in similar situations.
Case Management
Case Managers provide intake and case
management services to help people stabilize
their situation. Counseling is designed
to assist people in gaining the skills
they need to live successfully on their
own.
