Double R Ranch

Double R Ranch is a working horse ranch where homeless men, women, and children have a unique opportunity to work with horses and animals while identifying and addressing the root causes of what led them to homelessness. This 33-acre transitional housing facility offers two years of free housing while families and individuals receive comprehensive services to remove barriers and build skills to promote financial self-sufficiency. Double R Ranch also serves as a weekend retreat for Village of Hope families. OCRM is currently renovating the Ranch to provide 141+ beds for homeless men, women, and children.

Holistic support includes case management, workforce development, high school diploma or equivalency attainment, basic life skills training, parent coaching, and financial education. Residents learn valuable work skills, such as proper work attire, professionalism, and interpersonal communication, through skilled training alongside finance, janitorial, maintenance, landscaping, food services, and administration professionals.
