Neighborhood Pride Day
Neighborhood Housing Services of Orange County annually hosts
Neighborhood Pride Days in each of its chapters throughout the
county. These events bring together corporate sponsors and
volunteers to help lower income and senior homeowners improve their
homes and brighten their neighborhoods. Pride Day is a huge block
party featuring entertainment, food, and people working together to
make a difference in their community. Volunteers make small repairs,
paint home exteriors, clean up refuse, and plant new landscaping.
Pride Days make a dramatic impact on neighborhoods that may be
deteriorating. These people-oriented events help create neighborhood
and community pride and inspire other residents to take action and
improve their homes and surroundings. More than 100 families have
been assisted through the Pride Day programs.

Development
of multifamily and single-family residential housing will expand as
NHS OC’s resources and opportunities grow. NHS OC works with local
governments and agencies in their efforts to redevelop
under-utilized commercial properties into residential and mixed-use
communities. NHS OC’s certification by the U.S. Treasury Department
as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) offers
important financing resources for these development programs. For
