Mission Statement
NeighborWorks® Pocatello is a progressive alliance between residents, business, and government that revitalizes targeted areas by empowering people, creating safe, healthy neighborhoods, providing opportunities for affordable stable housing, and building community pride.
NeighborWorks® Pocatello is a chartered member of the NeighborWorks® network–trained and certified community development organizations at work in more than 2,000 communities across the United States.
NeighborWorks® Pocatello was created by the community in 1993 to revitalize the central neighborhoods of Pocatello. NeighborWorks® Pocatello works towards this goal in several ways.
The NeighborWorks® Pocatello HomeOwnership Center helps families in all stages of home ownership, through:
- Home purchase rehab programs
- Homebuyer Education
- Financial Fitness and counseling
- Home maintenance workshops
NeighborWorks® Pocatello builds affordable housing and rehabilitates homes for resale.
