Neighborhood Networks is about empowering residents of HUD FHA-insured and -assisted housing communities to succeed. It is about providing people with the workforce development and academic programs they need to compete in today's digital world. And it is about placing technology at the fingertips of all Americans regardless of where they live or how much they earn.

Since its inception in 1995, Neighborhood Networks estimates that thousands of people have turned to their local Neighborhood Networks center to enhance their computer skills, advance their careers, achieve greater academic success, and connect to opportunities and their community.

Neighborhood Networks believes that residents are the building blocks of every community, and that successful, independent residents create strong and prosperous communities. It is this belief that drives Neighborhood Networks to strengthen communities, one neighbor at a time.
