What We Do: Open Hearts Place provides affordable temporary housing opportunities for working families with the goal of helping them achieve financial stability and improve their quality of life. The home they live in while being with Open Hearts Place is only a small portion of our program.

How We Are Different: Open Hearts Place is set apart from other affordable housing options because our programming is designed to take participants from needing subsidized housing to improving their financial situation and creating generational wealth. Our goal is for participants to become financially self-sufficient and purchase their own home by the end of three years. This will take a lot of work on their part, including a sacrifice of time and a willingness to learn new skills and create new habits.

What That Means: Forming new habits is no easy task. Studies show it can take anywhere from a few weeks to nearly a year! During the journey, Open Hearts Place is going to be a cheerleader, coach, and teammate. Participants will find that we will be with them every step of the way by supporting them in various forms. Participants will meet with us at least twice a month, where we will help them identify goals and steps to achieve them. These will not just be financial goals either. Financial growth rarely happens without personal growth, and to find out what is important to individual growth we will use a whole-person approach to recognizing and reaching goals.

"We understand that none of us are wired for change, but we cannot over emphasize the necessity of change to reach your goals."-Open Hearts Place |
What We Ask from Participants: We are excited to bring opportunities that can create positive changes for families, but we want to reinforce that this will take some work that may not always align with how a participant might be feeling on a given day. It is important to success that participants communicate with us and do their best to meet the expectations of the program. It will take a willingness to develop new relationships and a strong commitment to change.
