Opportunity Neighborhood

Opportunity Neighborhood is a non-profit organization based in New Brighton, Minnesota. The organization employs 20 to 49 people and generates over $10,000 in annual revenue. Founded in 1998, Opportunity Neighborhood focuses on serving low-income children and families residing in affordable housing communities throughout the Twin Cities metro area. Opportunity Neighborhood provides a range of programs and services tailored to the unique needs of each community it serves. These services are developed in collaboration with local schools, law enforcement agencies, and other community organizations. When existing partnerships cannot meet a specific need, the organization creates new programs based on best practices and employs trained staff. The organization believes that safe and supportive affordable housing communities require six core components: early childhood education, out-of-school time/early intervention, courtesy, information and referral, community events, and special initiatives. These components aim to achieve three overarching goals: increasing community safety, enhancing housing stability, and creating opportunities for family success.
