History

Origins and foundation

The early origins of the nonprofit NeighborWorks America are traced to 1968, when Dorothy Mae Richardson, a Central North Side resident of Pittsburgh, advocated for the rehabilitation of dilapidated homes.[7][8][9][10] Richardson worked with city bankers and government officials to convince 16 financial institutions to give out conventional loans in the community.[11] Her work was continued in the Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) of Pittsburgh.[12] Later, the NHS became the inspiration for community-based housing initiatives throughout the country.[13][14][15] In 1970, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board became involved with NHS and started expanding the program by training savings and loan officers for urban areas nationally.[16]

Federal charter and national visibility

In 1978, Congress chartered the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation, with a mission to recreate the NHS housing program throughout the nation.[17]

In 1984, the first Neighborhood Housing Week[18] (now called NeighborWorks Week) was congressionally established. President Ronald Reagan proclaimed a national observance.

During the 1980s, the Ad Council collaborated with Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation (NRC) to create "NeighborWorks."

The NRC began doing business as NeighborWorks America in 2005.[19]

Programs and initiatives

In 2007, Congress selected NeighborWorks America to administer the National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling program. In 2009, as part of continued efforts to assist in recovery from the housing crisis, NeighborWorks launched the Loan Modification Scam Alert campaign and Stable Communities Initiative. In June 2011, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development partnered with NeighborWorks America to launch the Emergency Homeowners' Loan Program to assist homeowners across the country at risk of foreclosure.[20]

Scope

There are more than 240 NeighborWorks organizations operating in urban, suburban, and rural communities in 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. In July 2023, NeighborWorks organizations had generated more than $19.5 billion in reinvestment in these communities over the span of five years. NeighborWorks America has assisted more than 1.7 million homeowners through its congressionally funded National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling program. [20]

Community leaders

In honor of its namesake, NeighborWorks America nationally offers the Dorothy Richardson Award for Resident Leadership.[21]

Dorothy Richardson continued to live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as an active community member and supervisor of the Pittsburgh Housing Clinic until her death on April 28, 1991, aged 68, at Allegheny General Hospital.
