Opportunity Resources, Inc. is a private, not-for-profit (501(c)3)
organization that has provided support for individuals with disabilities
for almost 50 years.
We provide a wide array of supports to people with disabilities, including assistance with housing, transportation, recreation and jobs:
Supported Employment & Placement
Group homes and supported living
Social programs for seniors with disabilities
Art and Recreation opportunities
Transportation
Individual consultation for services

Our professional and caring staff provide quality customized supports for individuals. Any level of support may be provided depending on what assistance is necessary for that individual to be successful.
Approximately 350 individuals with a variety of disabilities are served
per day in a variety of ways. |

Last year, sixty individuals were assisted
in finding jobs. The Wood Products Division and the Packaging and
Assembly Division employed 120 people with disabilities, while our crews
and enclaves provided jobs and training to approximately 70 people.

Currently
42 individuals receive residential supports in group homes and an
apartment complex owned by ORI. Approximately 79 others receive
individualized supported living services in rented apartments or
their own homes daily. We provide transportation for adults with disabilities and seniors to their work sites and during weekend hours.
