- Joe, Neighborhood Network Resident
"The Neighborhood Network is one of the best programs I’ve ever lived in. One of the best things about it is the staff. They are all here for us and they help us get where we want to be. Everyone is caring and they help with problem solving when we have a bad day. I am blessed to wake up here every morning and know that I am around my number one family.
