Neighborhood House has more than 125 years’ legacy of nurturing and educating at-risk children and helping families with aging and disabled adults. Services offered are on a sliding scale and provide vital support for low-income families. The families of children served are 81% ethnically diverse, 94% in poverty, and 6% homeless. The adults served are 15% ethnically diverse and 68% are below the median income level.
The new 57,000 square foot child and adult daycare center combines the two populations into one building. The new center allows more efficient energy use, sharing of common spaces, and allows for more intergenerational activities.
