Veronica Oliver
Acting Executive Director

Neighborhood House is an organization that operates on a foundation of Christian principles pursuing two primary purposes:

·        assist and guide people with finding their own paths of awareness, self-sufficiency, productivity, hopefulness and success.

·        provide leadership, support, and advocacy for a comprehensive approach to community, economic, and leadership development.

Neighborhood House does this by

·        offering ongoing services and special projects that enable those they serve to thrive in today’s society and increase the emotional health of their family unit;

·        leading, supporting, and partnering with individuals and other organizations focused on a shared goal of making our communities stronger and more vital;

·        developing and supporting community leaders across all age groups through training and mentoring.
