Opportunity Center for the Homeless
Opportunity Center for the Homeless
“The Opportunity Center exists for all homeless without distinction of race, ethnic origin, language spoken, or, religious beliefs, and regardless of mental, drug and alcohol problems. Through direct contact with the homeless, the Center supports them to move beyond their condition if they are capable; or protects them if they cannot improve their condition in society because of emotional or psychological disorders.
To this end, the Opportunity Center operates a day resource center/emergency overflow night shelter where homeless people can gather and where some members of the El Paso Coalition for the Homeless provide on-site services. The Center also strives to create a system of care for the most needy among this population through the development of transitional and long-term supportive housing.”
La Posada Home
La Posada Home
“Share the love this holiday season, and donate essential items to La Posada Home. La Posada Home was established in 1986 in order to assist women and their children who are experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, abandonment, or lack of opportunities. Through accessing community resources we are able to provide the families with free-of-charge training opportunities, recreation, advocacy, transportation, medical and psychological services, day care, education, and assistance in the search for more permanent housing. Families are able to stay up to a year while they become self-sufficient.”
