"Moving people from crisis to stability," Opportunities for Housing Resources and Assistance or OHRA is a non profit organization whose mission is to help low-income people build better lives. This is done by offering both hope and access to various social services, 

"We encourage those in need on the path to self-sufficiency." 

The OHRA approach can seem a bit different. Skilled resource navigators work with anyone in need -- whether housed or unhoused without enrollment in any program. They help guests navigate the maze of social services, get help from partner agencies, and achieve their goals with dignity. Whether someone walks in the door of the Resource Center, is a guest at our year-round Shelter, or uses the Shower Trailer, a resource navigator will be there.  

OHRA has three main programs: 

1. Shelter - This includes nearly 60 rooms at the OHRA Center on the South end of Ashland, offering a safe place to sleep and get help on the path to self-sufficiency. This OHRA Center is a low-barrier, non-congregate, fully-staffed shelter that is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Further, OHRA also manages a second location which hosts 10 family rooms as well as the Ashland City Winter and Extreme Weather Shelter in the city. 

2. Resource Navigation - At the Resource Center, skilled navigators help individuals and families avoid eviction, find a job, apply for benefits, physical and mental health access, and more!

3. Laundry and Shower Trailer - Filling an essential need for those living without shelter, OHRA ensures everyone has the right to be clean and healthy.
