For 17 years, Open Doors has provided shelter and support services through a mobile model and on a seasonal basis, but in February 2024 we were selected to operate the future Navigation Center in Harrisonburg, VA! This will transform and expand our services: shelter will now be year-round in a stable continuous location and we will also expand our year-round resource coordination program to all in the community, both unhoused and housed, through a daytime drop-in center with various health and human services.

The historic project is almost complete! Now, with the capacity to provide year-round low-barrier shelter for up to 80 single adults on any single night, our goal of this project is to be positioned in such a way that we can respond to the need in our community.

We aim to enter 2025 equipped in every way, which means we need to raise at least $140,000!

We are community-funded and community-driven.... we need you!

Expanding our impact means our budget will increase over $140,000 per year.

We invite YOU, to partner with Open Doors in a historical milestone transition for the community.
