Founded by a small group of residents who wanted to improve their distressed neighborhood, Sacramento Neighborhood Housing Services was created in 1987. Now doing business as NeighborWorks® HomeOwnership Center Sacramento Region (NeighborWorks® Sacramento), the organization has changed and grown, but the heart of its mission remains the same. Initially, Sacramento Neighborhood Housing Services served just four neighborhoods in Sacramento. Today, NeighborWorks® Sacramento serves an 11-county region and its program offerings include a full range of services to assist potential and current homeowners. The mission is to “provide opportunities for successful homeownership and strong communities through quality education, affordable lending, supportive partnership and dedicated leadership.

The underlying goal of the activities NeighborWorks® Sacramento holds is to support the long-term financial success of local homeowners. In turn, this creates a stronger community that benefits everybody, regardless of their income level.

Many nonprofit organizations and local government agencies that helped homeowners have shrunk during the recent economic downturn. However the gap left by the disappearance of their services has been filled by NeighborWorks® Sacramento. In the last 24 months NeighborWorks® Sacramento has grown dramatically to meet the needs of the community, adapting with the market changes and to meet issues faced by community members.

Aside from more than doubling its staff in the past two years, NeighborWorks® Sacramento has grown in other ways. In 2010, NeighborWorks® Sacramento accomplished its longstanding goal of opening a branch office in Stockton. And in 2011, NeighborWorks® acquired the single-family housing programs from Mercy Housing California, which were slated for elimination. Preserving these programs saved jobs, as well as saving the critical homeownership services offered to many rural communities.

Also in 2011, NeighborWorks® Sacramento opened a Mortgage Help Center in partnership with Fannie Mae to provide direct assistance to borrowers seeking alternatives to foreclosure. Before 2006, barely anybody called in asking for help with avoiding foreclosure and such assistance wasn’t in demand. Just a few short years later in 2008, NeighborWorks® Sacramento provided foreclosure counseling to 1,123 households and continue to serve more than 1,000 concerned borrowers per year with free counseling.

In 2013, NeighborWorks® Sacramento purchased a second office in Oak Park to accommodate more space for customers. NeighborWorks® Sacramento has seen an increased interest in home purchase counseling as the economy rebounds and home affordability is better than ever. NeighborWorks® Sacramento is continuing to expand its home purchase services to help clients take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to buy.

And while changing economic times may lead clients to seek issue-specific assistance, NeighborWorks® Sacramento still stays true to its roots as a neighborhood organization looking to elevate its community through numerous services for local residents. In addition to its popular Oak Park Farmers Market, Crop Swap and Paint the Town events, NeighborWorks® Sacramento also provides leadership trainings and supports resident-led improvement strategies. By combining individual and community services, NeighborWorks® Sacramento plans to continue building healthy communities for at least another 25 years.

Case management and groups.

Yankton, South Dakota is the home of National Field Archery Association Foundation, and the first of the Easton Foundation's Archery Centers. Situated on nearly 100 acres; the NFAA Easton Yankton Archery Center includes three outdoor field ranges, a 3D range, two FITA ranges, a 90m indoor range with a raised viewers’ mezzanine, two classrooms, a fitness studio, an art studio, and the NFAA Foundation Archery Museum.

In 2007, Yankton triumphed over several Midwest cities to become the new headquarters of the National Field Archery Association (NFAA). The original plan called for a 4,000 square foot office building to house the NFAA staff. In partnership with the NFAA Foundation, the Easton Foundations saw the opportunity to add on to the NFAA Headquarters and create a multi-million dollar, state-of-the-art archery training facility.
