Organization Information
Mission Statement
Our mission at O3 is to support our young families and help strengthen their autonomy, self-determination, and sense of belonging so they can move from surviving to thriving independently within the community.
Description
O3 offers support services and transitional housing to young, vulnerable parents (aged 16 - 30 years old) with at least one child (0 - 5 years old) who face significant socio-economic barriers.
Each family can stay at O3 for up to 5 years, during which time they work on personal goals. In addition to housing, our individualized, culturally safe programs and services promote opportunities for growth and well-being. Our areas of focus include parenting, financial literacy, education and career, mental health, healthy relationships, and healthy living.
From Individual Action Plans (IAP) to group workshops to community events that promote connectivity and inclusiveness, we offer residents the opportunity to strengthen their skills and take charge of their future.
