Project Neighbor

The Project Neighbor Program was developed to assist Members with support and training who are living on their own with the support of family/others.  Project Neighbor is a fee-based program for people with mild or moderate intellectual and/or developmental abilities.

Project Neighbor enables participants to safely and successfully enjoy the rights, privileges and responsibilities like their peers living without a disability.  The focus of training includes the following areas and more where additional support is needed, as deemed a priority either by the Member, family and Program Director) for a successful living situation and the well-being of the individual:

• Safety in all areas such as personal, fire, weather, first aid, emergency preparedness
• Time management
• Nutrition, meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking
• Household cleaning, laundry and general household chores
• Consumer skills and money management
• Learning to access community services
• Communication skills (face-to-face conversations, body language, phone, written and computer)

Testimonials

“The Project Neighbor Program has allowed Marius to live independently.  Without it, the transition to him living on his own would have been much more difficult.  Paula has been there to guide him every step of the way.  I have peace of mind knowing he has this support.”  Jody
