Opportunity Construction

Opportunity Construction is a Black owned and led, for-profit employment social enterprise that specializes in highway and bridge construction. They provide valuable on-the-job training and opportunities to people overcoming barriers to employment, including those who have experienced incarceration. In addition to accessing training and living wage transitional and permanent employment with Opportunity Construction, participants receive wraparound services through OC’s non-profit arm, OC Connects, and support in finding stable housing through OC’s real estate rehabilitation and transitional housing entity, OC Highway. A $200k loan from RIIF supports the acquisition of two female-only sober living homes that, along with other rental properties in its portfolio, will house a minimum of 20 individuals employed with Opportunity Construction annually.
