Women & Children Supportive Housing Program
In December 2023, OpenDoors opened a new house for women with children which houses 12 families. Beds are referred through the Coordinated Entry System.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible, including Mayor Brett Smiley for providing funding and permitting, Dustin Dezube and Kevin Diamond from Providence Architecture + Building Co. for donating their services, and the RI Department of Housing, United Way of Rhode Island, Rhode Island Foundation, the Champlin Foundation, and the Papitto Opportunity Connection for generously providing additional funds.
