Letter from Our President & CEO

NeighborWorks America continues to monitor the developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. We have taken proactive measures to ensure the health and well-being of our staff and partners.

We remain committed to doing all that we can to ensure that the families, communities and partners that rely on us have the tools and resources they need. 

All of NeighborWorks America's offices are closed and staff are teleworking at this time. We have suspended staff travel and canceled several meetings, convenings and place-based trainings. We are exploring virtual meeting and training opportunities so we can continue to provide the infrastructure and support that our network organizations rely on to continue their business. We will continue to communicate directly with registered guests and anyone we are scheduled to meet with on a case-by-case basis. 

Our goal is to keep everyone safe and informed. For our network organizations who may have questions or concerns, please contact your relationship managers for assistance in finding the answers you may need. We also encourage you to reference the helpful guidance provided by the CDC regarding Community Gathering and Mitigation.

We know these are trying times, and we appreciate everyone's support and patience as we navigate this global crisis together. We will provide updates as the situation warrants.

Marietta Rodriguez
President & CEO
