Opening Doors

We assisted refugees that were arriving in the Sacramento area from the former Soviet Union, Southeast Asia and elsewhere to begin new lives here.

Opening Doors’ mission is to enrich communities by supporting immigrants, refugees, and survivors of trafficking on their path to stability, self-sufficiency, and belonging. Opening Doors began in 1993 as a small refugee resettlement agency called the Sacramento Refugee Ministry, which was sponsored by the Interfaith Service Bureau. When many of these refugees let us know that they needed help wit

h starting businesses in order to become self-sufficient, we formed our Microenterprise Assistance program. This small business program grew to serve Hispanic immigrants and US citizens. In 2003, after a great deal of growth, we incorporated as our own 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the name of Opening Doors. In 2004 Opening Doors became a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). We grew our business microloan program and began offering tools and training for those attempting to assert more control over their personal finances. Responding to the horrific problem of human trafficking and the dire needs of those who have survived it, Opening Doors became a founding member of Sacramento’s Rescue and Restore Coalition in 2007, and established its Survivors of Human Trafficking program. Over the years Opening Doors has developed an extraordinary internship and volunteer program that is critical to our success. Young people from many cultural backgrounds gain important skills and life experiences as they are given the opportunity to take on high levels of responsibility and use their talents to the fullest. We celebrate the diversity of our community and believe that we are enriched by its varied cultural wisdoms. We believe in the fundamental value of every community member and we work to enable each to fulfill his or her potential and thus contribute to their fullest to our society.

For many of our clients, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) isn't just a legal designation. It's the ability to work, support their families, and continue building their lives in the communities they call home.

As uncertainty around TPS continues to grow, our Director of External Affairs, Jims Porter, spoke with the Sacramento Bee about what these changes could mean for immigrant families across our region and why the stakes are so high.

Read more about the growing uncertainty surrounding TPS and its local impact:

After Supreme Court ruling denied courts the right to challenge Trump’s decision to terminate TPS, the Haitian community fears deportation.
