Honestly, wish I could give this place negative stars but unfortunately I can't. I was thinking about applying here to get more experience working with the houseless community but a former employee described to me how toxic the work environment is especially the management. Would not recommend at all.

Fell upon hard times and a difficult situation in May 2015; stayed there for 2 wks w/my two sons before I was inexplicably & unfairly told to leave for absolutely no good reason apparently. For a place that is supposedly trying to 'help' people, they are ridiculously intrusive on your privacy, as well as demeaning and disrespectful to you as a person. The vibe & atmosphere there feels very much like minimum security jail. Not the feeling one should have to experience when one is trying to move on and better their lives. A person named Tamara was the head when I was there; a very unfriendly and rude individual. I got the feeling that she does not like people of color, particularly black people. I understand we all have hard times & situations that may fall upon us, but I would definitely avoid this place like the plague if at all possible.

Well, first of all, hi people who own this place, I know you're reading this! But this is definitely not an "opportunity" house. If you have kids, you can't let them stay there just like any other shelter. I don't want to hear this "liability" crap because if it was that they would do the same for motels and apartments and anything you rent. So why I gave this no stars (well, lowest rating you can give) is because on the phone the person spoke to me and told me I could have my kids stay here so I can work, which I drove all the way from Modesto to come here for, and it turns out I can't even leave them here. Just bullshit. Waste of gas, time, and now stuck here.

Hello! I am homeless but I have my own van. Where can I park it if I come to your homeless shelter?

Akasha Jones | Aug 24, 2021
Opportunity House Homeless Shelter | Aug 24, 2021

There is street parking available. You will need to call the Shelter at (707)447-1988 and do a phone interview. Then if you are interested in our program, you will be set up with a Face to Fact interview. At this time, due to COVID and the new restrictions, we are not taking in any new residents, but it would be worth it for you to call and get on our waiting list. We are also offering a warming shelter at 720 E Monte Vista Avenue in Vacaville. Our hours are 6:00pm-6:00am. We have cots with bedding, showers, food, phone charging areas, clothing and toiletries.

Is there a secondary number to call? When I dial the number from google, I get a busy tone.

Unfortunately to my knowledge, they dont have anything for single men. They will however give you a list of resources for single men if you need one. And anyone can pick up a free bagged lunch if needed. At least that was how it was when i was living there.
