Dort-Oak Park Neighborhood House
The service area that is primarily targeted by the Neighborhood House Corporation is made
up of residents of the Fifth Ward in the City of Flint, but is not exclusive. This ward is
considered a breeding ground for an at-risk population. Factors contributing to this
high-risk reputation include high levels of school drop-outs, teen preganancy, violent
behaviors, unemployment and under-employment of residents. The Fifth Ward consists of
census tracts 12, 13, 14, 15, and 25. Theses tracts were identified as having the highest
crime rates in the City of Flint, as reported by the Flint City Police Statistical
Department in their 1995 report. The Neighborhood House Corporation is located in the
heart of the Fifth Ward. The youth that participate in our programs are considered as this
"at-risk" population. Out of the 83 children registered in our after-school
program, 98% are from single parent households and are considered low income based on the
Federal Income Guidelines. Our mission and purpose came from the work of two very special
ladies, Ms. Alberta Jones and Mrs. Sarah Ballou. |
