After 25 years, Opportunities for Broome has re-located their main office from 56-58 Whitney Ave. to 5 West State Street. The new building is more user friendly with wheel chair accessibility, and additional privacy in each office. The building is located on the bus route as well, making it easier to access for those utilizing public transportation. Renovations were made possible in part, by a Restore New York Grant totaling $200,000. The Restore NY program is a three-round state initiative that aims to remove blight, strengthen residential corridors, leverage private investment, and facilitate commercial development.
OFB currently runs the following programs out of the State Street location:
EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE
HEAP
FAMILY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
HOUSING
HEADSTART
HASP
LEND-A-HAND
