OpenDoors Shelter

OpenDoors, located in Pawtucket, provides wrap-around support and advocacy for justice-involved and homeless people. Its approach recognizes that people are more than their criminal records and draws on experience overcoming incarceration, addiction, and homelessness.

OpenDoors describes housing programs that include group shelters, transitional recovery houses, and permanent supportive housing, with options for men, women, and women with children. Its permanent supportive housing program is specifically designed to support the successful reentry of formerly incarcerated individuals. The organization’s Resource Center staff can also help people apply for permanent housing options across Rhode Island.
