The Oklahoma City Metro Alliance (OSCM) is a non-profit organization that operates two programs, Firstep and Second Chance, aimed at helping homeless people and those struggling with addiction. The Firstep program provides long-term residential work recovery for men and women with addiction issues, while the Second Chance program works with the criminal justice system to provide an alternative to incarceration. The organization's mission is to break cycles of homelessness and addiction and help individuals lead self-sufficient lives. Their website, www.oscm.org, provides information about their programs, ways to get involved, and resources for those in need.
