Watch a Tour of the 1st 'Workforce Hope Center'
Oklahoma Human Services is pioneering a new distribution model that deploys hundreds of social workers, committed to serving the community within partner locations. Now, instead of having to humble yourself to walk into an OKDHS office, you can meet a social worker at a hospital, school, homeless shelter or mental health provider. We are meeting our customers where they are, and our community is embracing us a true partners in ways that we have never seen. OKDHS has also built the ‘Community Hope Center’ platform, co-locating services and resources to remove barriers that exist that keep people from engaging consistently in the pathways that are available for them to lift themselves out of poverty. Bridging workforce programs with resources like on-site child care, food and housing, on-site health and mental health and direct support for workforce coaching and financial literacy is core to the services offered at a Community Hope Center.
