Ring in the New Year by Opening Doors to Warmth, Safety, and Hope.

This New Year, Open Doors is celebrating an important milestone—one year of operating the Navigation Center, marking a new chapter in our mission to serve the Harrisonburg–Rockingham community.

While Open Doors has served the community since 2007, this past year has expanded our ability to respond to need through year-round permanent shelter, on-site case management, and a successful drop-in center that connects individuals to care, stability, and support.

With the New Year comes dangerously cold weather. For individuals experiencing homelessness, freezing temperatures can quickly become life-threatening. When conditions are unsafe, Open Doors extends operations to ensure people have a warm, safe place to stay, access to meals, and compassionate support.

What We've Accomplished in 2025

🏠 Provided Emergency Shelter to 392 Unique Guests
🏠 Supported 245 Unique Individuals Who Used the Drop-in Center
🏠 Held 1,174 Support Sessions at the Drop-in Center

*Every number represents a person seeking safety, dignity, and hope.
