Northside Neighborhood House

The nnh stability program includes emergency direct assistance and education as well as other distributions. Nnh served 604 unique households with rent/mortgage assistance or utility services. 80% of households served earn less than 30% annually. This year, 45% of those households served were new to nnh. In addition, our stability programming served 158 kids through our back to school shop and 350 kids through our santa's workshop. Every client is cleared through an online system before being seen to make sure there is no duplication of services. Additional supports with clients include job search support, budgeting, and connection to other resources. Follow up calls with clients maintain a level of connectivity and support outside of financial help given. In addition, nnh hosts computer classes, resume building workshops, cooking classes, and good tenant workshops for first-time renters or those looking to rent again and need to rebuild their credit.
