Emergency Shelter, Housing, Affordable Childcare and More

Opportunity House has been helping the homeless population of our area since 1984. Our emergency shelter serves homeless men, women, families, and Veterans.  We provide support to individuals who are experiencing homelessness to help them get back onto their feet and return to safe, stable and affordable housing.

  • Second Street Learning Center offers Keystone 4 Star care while parents work or go to school to provide a better future for their family.
  • Permanent Housing  Program provides affordable housing  for those who have experienced homelessness.
  • OppShop Retail Thrift store sells affordable clothing, furniture, housewares and more while providing essential funds to support our mission.
  • Reuse & Recycle Program reduces landfill waste while providing job training to formerly homeless clients.
