Open Door Program
The Open Door program assists customers by providing immediate access to services for individuals facing multiple barriers. Open Door also helps families and individuals in navigating the human services system to help address emergency needs by providing limited financial assistance for medication, housing, transportation, food and clothing. In addition, staff provide direct assistance and also link customers directly to other supportive programs such as child care, education, employment training and services provided by other state agencies and community-based organizations. When necessary, families and individuals can receive longer-term case management to ensure their needs are met and to help them move to self-sufficiency.
Open Door office hours are from Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
If you or someone you know needs help, please contact Open Door.
