Neighborhood Services

The mission of Neighborhood Services is to provide Central Pennsylvania residents with a broad range of programs including personal and financial protection, financial management services, and budget and life skills coaching. We are committed to providing long-term service to a majority of our clients in protective service programs who have documented mental health issues and resulting long-term incapacitation.

Description:
Neighborhood Services is a United Way member and 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, dedicated to serving persons in need of protection and supports programs that empower neighborhoods and individuals to reach their full potential.
Neighborhood Services serves the community in a number of areas. Protection is provided through our Guardianship and Representative Payee programs. Neighborhood Services also serves The Partnership by providing intensive case management through a variety of contractual programs.

History:
The agency was founded in 1964 as a coordination and referral program and then moved into protective services in 1975 with the Social Security Administration’s Representative Payee program. In 1979, Neighborhood Services began offering Guardianship protective services to persons who are wards of the State because of diminished mental capacity, requiring someone to make decisions for them, as stipulated by a Court order.
