Our Values
Our Work
Resources for Self-Sufficiency
OCW uses a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach to co-create with our unhoused immigrant families a bridge to self-sufficiency. As we do, we recognize and empower the strengths of their gifts and culture, while working with them to develop the skills, attitudes and opportunities they need to be independent and thrive in a new country and culture
Transitional Housing
Unhoused immigrant families live as our guests in one of our two transitional housing shelters for six months to a year. Our guests live in community with OCW’s staff, sharing their everyday life and household tasks.
Food Security Program
OCW offers a weekly Thursday Food Bank that serves over 400 people a week. We also provide Hot Lunch meals twice a week to over 200 people who often have no other place to go for their meals
Job Tranning and Placement
Immigrants receive job training and orientation to the world of work and are supported to find justly paid employment
Case Management
OCW staff do an individual, holistic assessment of every immigrant and their children before meeting as a team to draw up a plan for both each person and the family as a whole
