Village Enterprises
Help develop a foundation of support, opportunity, and self-reliance
with social enterprises.
Businesses
for Good
Besides homes, The Other Side Village community also includes social enterprises—businesses focused on sharing goodness and inspiring change. Through these enterprises, residents have the opportunity to contribute to the community through meaningful work, earn money, foster relationships with other community members, and develop skills that can carry them throughout their lives. The Village Enterprises play a key role in the success of the Village:
Opportunities for Employment
Provide residents with valuable work and learning opportunities tailored to their abilities.
Operational Self-Reliance
Become completely self-sustained and no longer rely on grants and donations.
Impactful Connections
Create a positive relationship between The Village and the surrounding community.
Enterprises to Meet Every Need
You’ll find a wide variety of businesses throughout The Other Side Village, each one designed to contribute to a full, functioning community and give residents the opportunity to learn new skills.

Meaningful Work to Inspire Growth
We believe that enriching work is one of the best ways to find fulfillment, joy, and a renewed sense of purpose and self-worth. As residents work in the Village Enterprises, they’ll be able to develop marketable skills, improve their circumstances, increase their income, and become more self-reliant and confident.
Residents aren’t required to work in any of the Village Enterprises or work for third-party companies, but these establishments are a valuable opportunity for them to continue their positive trajectory towards a whole-person change. Residents are always paid fair wages for their work, and jobs are available for all skill levels, interests, and abilities.
A Stronger Community
Starts Here
Social enterprises are an essential part of our human-first focus at The Other Side Village. This work is an invaluable opportunity for residents to grow and work towards the whole-person change that will set them up for success and fulfillment for the rest of their lives.
