COVID-19 Updates

Amidst growing health concerns, Neighborhood House is still committed to providing essential services to all our neighbors as we are able. Please see updates below on our programs:

•  The Neighborhood House Senior Center is closed until further notice, but staff are still available to take calls and provide any assistance (call: 503-244-5204). Our Senior Transportation Service continues to provide one-on-one rides for essential services (call Ride Connection: 503-226-0700).

• Head Start and Early Head Start Programs will be closed in line with the Early Learning Division’s (ELD) directive to cease classroom activity. However, Head Start is modifying their services in the following ways:
  • Learning: Teachers and Home Visitors will connect with families each week to provide ideas for learning at home, provide activities, and read books remotely.
  • Resources and basic needs: Family Advocates and Home Visitors will connect with families each week to support positive parenting, identify resources and connect families, and to help reduce stress.
  • Meals: Staff are providing healthy lunches to children in the programs and their siblings, children at 19th Avenue Housing, and children ages 0-18 in the neighborhood. Meals are provided via pick-up. Food and other basic needs (diapers, soap) boxes are also available on a weekly basis for families in the programs.
  • Community: Head Start has set up a web page to support families with resources and stay connected. https://nhcommunity.squarespace.com/
