Alpha Opportunities Inc. opening new residential habilitation group home

JAMESTOWN — Alpha Opportunities Inc. recently opened a second residential habilitation group home to serve clients, said Mallory Everson, executive director, and plans to open another one in April.
"Last December, we opened an all-men's residential habilitation group home on the southwest side of Jamestown, and six gentlemen live there," she said.
The third home will be located in northeast Jamestown.
"It will originally open as a four-bed home for women for residential habilitation but it will be expanded to having six people (women) living in the home," Everson said.
Alpha Opportunities Inc. is a nonprofit organization providing person-centered services to people with developmental disabilities over the age of 18, Everson said.
In addition to the residential habilitation group homes, it also operates two intermediate care facility group homes for people with higher needs, she said.
Residents have their own bedroom in residential habilitation group settings, Everson said. They make their meals together, go grocery shopping together and are encouraged to help with cleaning and maintaining the home, she said.
They also have 24/7 staffing support, Everson said, including help with transportation and teaching them skills needed to live in that apartment setting on their own.
"They go out in the community, some of them work jobs, some attend the day program (Alpha provides)...," she said.
Everson said the goal of a person in a residential habilitation group program is to build skills and gain independence to move into an apartment and be successful in the community.
Alpha Opportunities supports 54 people in the community, Everson said, including 22 who live in their own apartments. There are 38 individuals currently in its day program.
Alpha Opportunities has 87 employees, Everson said.
She said there is a high need for more group home facilities to support people and it can be difficult to open one when everyone is looking for employees.
"It makes it very challenging for a provider to expand and to grow," she said. "However, Alpha has now been able to have this impact on the community of Jamestown two times in the last about year and a half. And so I think that's a huge asset for the community to be able to have a provider that is flourishing enough to offer these services to more people that need them."
She said the referral list is very long in North Dakota for those looking for services.
"I think Jamestown is very lucky," Everson said. "They're a very good community. Alpha's been around since the '80s and the community is very welcoming for what we do and the people we support. We have a lot of people that work in different businesses here in the community and the community has been a very big supporter of Alpha. And so any chance that we can to be able to enhance our services in the community and provide something back to the community, we're really trying to focus on that."

DWF Ventures Analyzes Performance of Binance Alpha and Spot Listings
Dubai, UAE, June 13th, 2025, Chainwire Leading web3 investor DWF Ventures has published an analysis of Binance Alpha and Spot listings. It examines the performance of projects that have reached the exchange's spot market following a token launch on Binance Alpha. DWF Ventures has comprehensively analyzed the projects that have featured on Binance Alpha following the introduction of the listing mechanism in 2024. It highlights the increased transparency that Alpha brings by enabling users to appraise the merits of emerging tokens, some of which have the potential to migrate to a Binance Spot listing. Research conducted by DWF Ventures has found that of the more than 190 projects to have been selected by Binance Alpha to date, more than 70% are currently trading at below $50M market cap, while a handful of outliers such as Ondo and Virtuals have surpassed $1B valuation. DWF Ventures' analysis also shows that memecoins and AI agents have dominated Binance Alpha projects with DeFi in third place. Memecoins and AI agents surpass all other onchain sectors featured in Binance Alpha combined. DWF further found that Solana was the most popular chain for featured projects, followed closely by BNB Chain and Ethereum. Key findings from DWF Ventures' Binance Alpha report include the fact that around 10% of Alpha projects converted to a Spot listing, with a total of 19 making the grade. DeFi and memecoins had the highest conversion rate, while the most valuable projects after Ondo and Virtuals were Maple Finance and Cookie DAO. DWF Ventures summarizes its report by noting that projects that migrate from Alpha to Spot are typically defined by active social media engagement, high trading volume, and are category leaders in popular onchain verticals.
