At Central OAC, we serve a variety of individuals on a daily basis. Each person who comes through our doors has a story, and we strive to meet each guest where they are by listening to these important stories. A main lesson our guests continue to teach us is that homelessness and poverty are complicated issues. Each guest experiences a variety of hardships, both societal and individual, that lead to their circumstances. However, our guests also continue to inspire us with their resilience and hope.
