WHO WE ARE Neighborhood House has been bringing the community together to help neighbors in need since 1905. We're here for families facing hunger and homelessness, vulnerable seniors and children who need help in school. WHAT WE DO Our programs help low-income, recent-immigrant and other vulnerable people overcome challenges so they can achieve success, stability and independence. WHO WE SERVE Approximately 18,000 low-income children, families and seniors each year across the greater Portland area. Our clients represent a remarkably diverse mix of ethnicities and cultures, including many recent immigrants from Latin America, Africa, Russia and the Middle East. OUR TEAM Currently 96 regular staff and 500 volunteers, who give more than 20,000 hours of service each year. OUR HISTORY IN THE COMMUNITY Founded in 1905, Neighborhood House was the city's first organization established to help the many immigrants who were arriving and settling in South Portland. For over a century, Neighborhood House has been the primary resource for people in need in South/Southwest Portland, its programs evolving to meet the changing needs of the surrounding community. In the last few years, Neighborhood House has grown dramatically, adding new programs and extending our services across the greater Portland area, with a concentration in North Portland. OUR CORE VALUES Neighborhood House is committed to offering innovative and high-quality education, anti-poverty and senior support services. Our core strengths are: Client-focused services – Every neighbor's different. We reach people where they are to effectively facilitate change. Connection – We are connected to our neighbors. When we help people in need, our entire community is strengthened. Results – Our programs make a measurable difference in the lives of our clients and in the community.
