End the cycle of homelessness for women and families in Okaloosa and Walton Counties.
Opportunity Place Inc. exists for one reason: to help families with minor children and single women who are homeless become self-sufficient. We do this by providing a safe and secure haven, food, clothing, basic needs, and case management, connecting parents and children to all possible resources in the community. We focus on the well-being of the individual and the whole family. When a parent knows their child/ren are safe (not living in the woods or in a car) and in a healthy environment — they are able to focus on their own challenges and barriers. They can look for sustainable jobs, secure additional skills, and find affordable housing. They are able to become a healthy, supportive family unit in which all family members can thrive.
Adult clients meet with the case manager and/or shelter manager when they are enrolled in the program. Based on the needs of the individual or family, clients are connected to appropriate resources. They are assisted with obtaining copies of vital records critical to receiving health/child services, employment, and housing.
Children who experience homelessness are more likely to have emotional and physical health issues and are less likely to participate and excel in school. Their needs are multiple. The Case Manager and Youth Services Coordinator identify potential areas requiring expert intervention and consult with parents as to what resources would be best to meet the needs of the child.
