Welsh Whiteley Architects worked closely with the non-profit agencies Opportunity, Inc. and Community Connections to construct this 6,990 sq ft building that includes six 1-bedroom units and two 2-bedroom units, all designed for either full accessibility or easy adaptability.

​

Opportunity House provides people with developmental disabilities with the opportunity to live independently. Shared laundry, recreation rooms, and a front office for staff were included in the floor plan. The exterior is designed to fit into the surrounding mixed-use area, with a primary goal of creating a compatible neighbor for adjacent single family homes.

​

Project funding was provided by the US Department of Housing and and Urban Development, the US Department of Agriculture, the Alaska Mental Health Trust, and numerous Ketchikan donors and supporters.
