About this program

The Opportunity Council is a private, non-profit Community Action Agency serving homeless and low-income families and individuals. Our goal is to help people learn to become self-sufficient. We offer a broad scope of services that range from addressing immediate and crisis-oriented needs (food, emergency shelter, eviction-prevention) to longer-term programs that promote self-sufficiency in our community (early childhood education, home weatherization).
Services offered
Energy Assistance Program; Supportive Services for Veteran Familes (SSVF); Whatcom Homeless Service Center (provides eviction prevention, rental assistance and other services to prevent and end homelessness)
