Neighborhood House’s Community Health programs support the wellbeing of individuals and families across all stages of life—from youth to older adults and people with disabilities. We take a holistic, culturally responsive approach to health by addressing physical, behavioral, and social needs together.
Our services connect community members to care, promote prevention, and support long-term stability through trusted partnerships and community-based programming. We help people navigate systems, access resources, and overcome barriers related to language, culture, and immigration or citizenship status so they can maintain their health and independence.
Our Approach
We believe health is shaped by more than medical care. Our work focuses on:
- Prevention and early intervention
- Access to culturally competent care
- Whole-person support that includes social services, housing stability, and community connection
- Reducing barriers for historically underserved communities

Aging & Disability Services (ADS)
Neighborhood House Resource Specialists, Care Coordinators, and Medicaid Case Managers offer a variety of support programs to individuals with disabilities, older adults, and their families. We assist in planning for critical needs, identifying resources, connecting to services, and navigating the long-term care sector. We believe that our community members should be able to remain in the communities they love, regardless of physical or cognitive limitations.

Health Homes provides a dedicated Care Coordinator to meet with you in your home or at the location of your choice. Your Care Coordinator will partner with you to develop and work toward your goal.

Citizenship & Access to Services
We support individuals and families in navigating systems that impact their health and wellbeing, including challenges related to immigration and citizenship status. Barriers such as language access, eligibility questions, and unfamiliar processes can make it difficult to access care and services.
Our team provides culturally responsive support, including education classes, application assistance, and referrals to trusted community partners. Neighborhood House has Department of Justice (DOJ) accredited staff who can support eligible individuals with certain immigration and naturalization processes.
Through guidance, resources, and personalized support, we help community members make informed decisions, access services, and build long-term stability.
