Neighborhood House builds community and increases access to housing, health, education, and economic opportunity. Our purpose is to create opportunities for people who face cultural, language, and systemic barriers to live longer, happier, and healthier lives.
Neighborhood House aspires to live our values: community, equity, integrity, relationships, and sustainability. These values guide every interaction and the large and small decisions we make every day.
• Community: We welcome all, embrace diversity, and foster belonging. We are embedded in community. We partner with individuals, families, schools, housing authorities, health care providers, and communities to fulfill our mission.
• Equity: We believe equity is determined by the community and those who live in it. We share power, work to repair past inequity, and listen and learn from each other and our communities. We work together, with humility and courage, to disrupt poverty, racism, and injustice.
• Integrity: We are ethical, honest, and transparent; we build trust by holding ourselves accountable to each other, the people we serve, and community partners.
• Relationships: We put relationships first. We respect and care about the people we serve, the people we work with, and everyone who makes our work possible.
• Sustainability: We believe a vibrant community where all people thrive requires environmental stewardship and investment in future generations. We are committed to delivering sustainable programs, building organizational capacity, and valuing staff.
We envision healthy, diverse, and welcoming communities, free of poverty and racism, where all people thrive.
