RESIDENT SERVICES
Our Resident Services Programs assist residents with specialized enhanced asset building activities and programs developed to promote leadership skills, personal growth, independent development and empowered self-sufficiency.
ONIC’s Resident Services Program
ONIC markets it communities as more than “roofs and walls,” hence the establishment of a Resident Services Program (RSP) to coordinate enhanced and asset-building services designed to increase its residents’ quality of life. RSP supports its residents through the implementation and coordination of activities, services, and programs determined by resident input, interest, and need. Expected outcomes include satisfied, involved, self-sufficient residents and healthy, sustainable, communities.
The RSP delivers a planned range of activities and services that are place-based, free, and open to the broader community. Programming is implemented through partnerships and collaborative efforts of existing community resources and organizations.
The Resident Services Program addresses barriers to a family’s ability to succeed, focusing on three pillars of thriving communities: Housing Stability, Asset Building, and Community Building and Engagement:
