Future Goals
Opportunities for Otsego has been an important part of our community and instrumental in improving the lives of low-income families in Otsego County since 1966. From homelessness to domestic violence, from sexual assault to home heating emergencies, from early childhood education to child abuse prevention, Opportunities for Otsego has lead the charge in developing innovative solutions that promote healthy lives, thriving families and caring communities.
Over the years the face of poverty has changed, and during these difficult economic times, the problems faced by low-income households have multiplied. Most families served by Opportunities for Otsego are employed and struggling to make ends meet. They work in our supermarkets, school districts, local businesses and local governments and are the backbone of our community.
At Opportunities for Otsego, we constantly strive to support the disenfranchised by addressing the following challenges:
- Lack of affordable housing
- High heating costs
- Access to health care
- Viable employment that pays a living wage
- Public transportation that meets household needs
- Inadequate nutritional resources
OFO’s success depends on its ability to adapt to a constantly changing environment so that the families in our care have every potential to become self-sufficient and productive members of our community.
216 - The number of individuals OFO protected from violence in 2021
Making the grade - Studies show that Head Start graduates in kindergarten got higher marks in numeracy, language, literacy, social conduct, and physical development, when compared to their non-Head Start peers.
