D.I.V.E. Opportunity stands for Developing Integrity & Value with Excellence! We are a human service centered non-profit organization that has a vision to address not only the quality of direct care services, but also by seeking to improve accessibility, accountability, and coordination among professionals and agencies to optimize service delivery in the community. We are inspired to serve displaced youth, veterans, homeless, elderly and disabled clients.
Our mission is to go beyond the call of duty for the clients we serve to help them achieve success, stay motivated and receive the tools and knowledge necessary to meet and exceed their personal expectations. We help identify and select interventions which promote growth and goal attainment, which in turn builds confidence, self-worth, and the ability to navigate through challenging circumstances.
Our goal is to deliver culturally relevant, trauma-informed, and age-appropriate services to all clients and assist them in becoming the best version of themselves possible.
Accountable for something within one’s power,control, or management.
We believe by taking responsibility for our lives we not only gain control of what happens, but it also becomes natural to feel like you deserve more in life as your self-esteem builds and as you do the right thing more consistently.
Belief in oneself and one’s powers or abilities; self-confidence.
We want to instill confidence in our residents so they understand nothing is impossible and there is no height they cannot reach.
The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.
We take pride in the fact that we strive to teach every young people that walks through our doors what it means to have good character and integrity. We want to teach them right from wrong and how to carry strong moral principles with them for the rest of their lives.
Our long-term vision is to build a homeless shelter with effective services onsite. Most people are not aware of these staggering stats but more than half of all unsheltered people in this country were in California (51%). The disturbing fact is that these numbers could be heavily underestimated. Unfortunately, it excludes some individuals who never interacted with homeless providers and doesn’t include survivors of domestic violence who choose to omit their information for safety purposes. Almost 30% of the homeless population is comprised of veterans. Most veterans experiencing homelessness are over age 50, and often have significant disabilities and medical conditions that are exacerbated by their housing situations. The D.I.V.E. Opportunity team will be competent in Participant Empowerment, Community Networking and Advocacy so we can offer the following services to our clients:
We also plan to establish Adult Day Care for our elderly and disabled community members. We want to come to the aid of our adults and elderly who suffer from mental health challenges. We will rely heavily on our mental health professionals to create specific programs that cater to the challenges of each client. By providing them with a stable and committed connection with a supportive team; this will create an outcome that far exceeds our expectations.
We have done the research and have a great understanding of the facts, data and statistics regarding the populations we plan to serve. Once we secure the additional funding necessary to move forward, we plan to bring our vision into fruition by maintaining our commitment to improving the overall quality of life for our underserved community members!
