Welcome to Our Neighbor Inc.

Our Neighbor, Inc. owns and operates 3 independent living homes within the City of Gainesville and has 10 full-time residents. No resident application is excluded from our program based on the applicant’s ability to cover the cost of the program. Our Neighbor, Inc. allows for our residents to live in typical residential neighborhoods in typical house mate situations. All of the residents admitted to the ONI program are expected and encouraged to have the desire and the ability to increase their level of independence, whether that be from family members or social services. ONI addresses the barriers to self-sufficiency by modeling a life style of fiscal and emotional responsibility. We teach our residents life skills that include: budgeting, meal planning and preparation, value shopping, personal hygiene, property maintenance and upkeep, community involvement as well as encouraging them to search for employment opportunities and or participate in volunteerism.
