Today, we observe Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and serves as a powerful reminder of our nation’s journey toward freedom and equality.

As we honor this important day, we reflect on the struggles, sacrifices, and achievements of generations of Black Americans whose strength and determination helped shape our communities and our country. Juneteenth is a time to remember our history, celebrate progress, and recommit ourselves to creating opportunities and stronger futures for all.

Please note that NeighborGood Partners’ offices are closed today in observance of Juneteenth and will reopen during normal business hours tomorrow.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and reflective Juneteenth.

We’re excited to see progress continue on Laurel Glen, a project designed to expand access to quality, affordable housing opportunities in Sussex County while creating pathways toward long-term stability and homeownership.

A special thank you to Congresswoman Sarah McBride and her team for visiting the site and helping secure critical funding for the sewer infrastructure that will help move this project forward. Investments in infrastructure are often the first step in making affordable housing possible.

We’re grateful for the partnerships, support, and shared commitment to addressing housing challenges in our communities, and we look forward to continuing the work ahead.

50 Years of Impact: Our Story Begins, Before NeighborGood Partners, before NCALL's housing programs, our roots were in advocacy.

Originally known as the National Council on Agricultural Life and Labor Research Fund, our work focused on supporting rural communities, family farms, agricultural workers, and improving living and working conditions throughout the region.

What started as a mission to help people has grown into 50 years of strengthening communities through housing, lending, and education.

We’re proud to stand with every neighbor. Love, inclusion, and community because together, we thrive. Happy Pride Month!

As NeighborWorks Week comes to a close, we just want to say thank you.

Thank you to the residents, volunteers, supporters, sponsors, staff, community leaders, and partners who continue believing in stronger neighborhoods and brighter futures for our communities. The work doesn’t stop after this week ends and neither does our commitment to the people we serve every day.

Here’s to continuing to create homes, build community, and strengthen neighborhoods together.

NeighborWorks Week isn’t just one event. It’s the everyday work happening across our communities.

It’s affordable housing.
It’s neighborhood revitalization.
It’s youth opportunities.
It’s wellness resources.
It’s community partnerships.
It’s neighbors helping neighbors.

We’re grateful to everyone who continues supporting the mission of creating stronger, healthier, and more connected communities across Delmarva.

Investing in young people is investing in the future of our neighborhoods.

Innovation Station S.T.E.A.M. and Leadership Summer Camp returns this July, creating opportunities for kids to learn, grow, collaborate, and explore new skills in a positive community environment. Programs like these help empower the next generation of leaders right here in Dover.

NeighborWorks Week gives us a chance to recognize the people behind the work.

From housing counseling and community outreach to event planning, revitalization efforts, youth programming, lending, communications, and resident support, our team wears a lot of hats every day.

Thank you to the staff, volunteers, partners, and residents who continue helping move this work forward. Community change takes all of us.
