The mission of Neighborhood House is
to help diverse communities of people with limited
resources attain their goals for self-sufficiency,
financial independence and community building.
Fulfilling the
promise of America
D E A R F R i E N D S , from our earliest beginnings serving Jewish immigrants
in 1906 to our work today with people from countless countries and cultures,
Neighborhood House has helped generations of families fulfill their vision of
the promise of America — an education for their children, self-sufficiency for their
families and a meaningful place in a caring community.
Our proudest moment of 2005 was also a milestone in our 100-year history. The Neighborhood House family – our clients, staff, donors and community
– became first-time homeowners. Rainier Vista Center opened in the summer, a place where families can learn, grow and rejoice together in their diversity and their common bonds. The culmination of a $3.2 million capital campaign, Rainier Vista Center will advance the vision of Neighborhood House for decades to come.
Other notable achievements of the past year are highlighted in the pages that follow, brought to life in a few personal stories that represent the 8,500 youth, adults, seniors and families we serve. Envision similar stories unfolding over 100 years, and you’ll begin to imagine the impact of Neighborhood House on the lives of individuals and on the life of our community.
The staff and leadership of Neighbor-hood House – ourselves, a multicultural mirror on the community we serve – are proud to play a role in helping our neighbors build happy lives and strong communities. It is an honor to be part of an agency that cares so deeply and to be able to sustain the rich traditions of Neighborhood House.
The next 100 years offer us the opportu-nity to open new doors to help families in need make a difference in their own
lives. Thank you for your support in making this mission come alive.
Sincerely,
Mark Okazaki
Executive DirectorBarbara Larson
President, Board of Trustees
After a century of this important and fulfilling work, we are enormously proud to reach our centennial in 2006. While this publication looks back on the accomplishments of 2005, it also serves as a remembrance of decades past and a promise for the future. So much remains to be done, but for now, we pause here to celebrate the many successes of our clients and our communities.

programs for low-income children,
2005: Guests line
up for the grand opening
of Rainier Vista Center.
1948: Educational Center
is re-christened Neighborhood
House and joins the National
Federation of Settlements and
Neighborhood Centers.
1966: Two years after
“Great Society” legislation and
funding allows Neighborhood
House to expand services
throughout King County, the agency establishes
one of the first Head Start programs in the country.
Neighborhood House’s early-
childhood education programs
– Head Start, Early Head
Start, Parent-Child Home
Program and Kindergarten
Readiness – prepare entire
families for school. Parents
learn how to help their children
succeed and stay healthy, and
the youngsters start kindergarten
more excited than scared.
In 2005, we secured a $25,000
Boeing “Flight to the Future” grant to
expand our successful Kindergarten
Readiness program. Via a national
grant from Johnson & Johnson, we
also taught 80 parents how to better
care for their children’s health and
avoid costly emergency room visits.
Learning and
growing. . . through education
Neighborhood House helps
children and their families
grow and learn together with
programs that provide tutoring,
youth development and
youth job training.
In 2005, four after-school centers
in Seattle and King County offered
critical learning support for children
of limited English-speaking parents.
Our Out-of-School Youth program at
West Auburn High School helped teens
who have left school return and earn
credits while they held down jobs and
learned employment skills.
Preparing for the
future. . . through youth programs
Before the morning bell, she’s in the caf-eteria with other moms helping children with homework. Later, she may drop by her son’s kindergarten classroom to observe or visit with the teacher.
“It’s obvious that Shamso values educa-tion very much and wants her son to succeed in school,” says teacher Jennifer Foubert. “She makes a point to touch base with me in person at least once a week, even if she is ill.”
Shamso and Mohamed are recent “graduates” of two Neighborhood House early-childhood education programs. Head Start and summertime Kindergarten Readiness help prepare low-income children and their families for the school years and beyond.
Youngsters who have gone through the programs are more comfortable in school and are among the best readers, notes Jennifer. The parents, who learn tips and strategies for helping their children succeed, are the most involved and supportive in her class.
In addition to her time at Bailey Gatzert, Shamso also manages to be active in the Early Head Start program her two younger children attend.
“School is impor-tant,” says Shamso, adding that she’d like to take classes herself in the near future. “I need more English. Mohamed goes to school. I go to school for me.”
Shamso Saeed is a familiar face around Bailey Gatzert Elementary School.
The Somali mom walks her young son, Mohamed Omar, and two neighbor
children to school and back as part of the Walking School Bus Program.
Seven-year-old Ruvim Tochinskiy wrinkles his face in concentration as he tries
to solve math problems with the help of a volunteer tutor. Somehow he’s able to
resist the distraction of his talkative older brother, Andriy.
The boys, part of a Ukrainian immigrant family of 10, seem happy to spend their after-school hours in one of Neigh-borhood House’s
youth tutoring centers in Auburn.
“I don’t think he’s missed a day since the new year started,” says Sophia Agtarap, who coordinates the program. “At first he was hesistant. Now he’s used to the routine. After doing his homework, he grabs a book and starts to read.”
The extra help is paying off. According to the most recent evaluation by his teacher, Ruvim’s reading fluency has jumped from 20 words per minute to 56 words.
Sofia, Ruvim’s mom, says with a laugh that her children like the tutoring center so much they sometimes rush there without first checking in with her at home. She says she wants what every mother wants for her children: a good education and a good living.
Ruvim takes a break from reading “The Boxcar Children” to reflect on the importance of learning.
“If you don’t go to school,” he says, “you don’t know how to do things.”
1956: Neighborhood House’s
building on Main Street is sold to the
Wonder Bread bakery. The agency
re-opens its doors in Yesler Terrace,
renting space from
Seattle Housing
Authority for $1 a year.
1970: Neighborhood
House is recognized as one of 32
model programs in the nation at
the 1970 White
House Confer-
ence on Children
and Youth.

to form The Voice.
This 16-page paper is sent
free-of-charge to public
housing residents.
2005: Neighborhood House Rainier Vista Center
– the first building constructed from the ground up, owned
and operated by Neighborhood House – opens in South
Seattle, providing Head Start class-
rooms, a computer lab and family
and social services.
Neighborhood House connects
people to work training programs,
transportation, English-language
classes and the tools they need to
build a better life for themselves and
their families.
In 2005, we expanded our
employment and education services.
We opened the Neighborhood
Networks computer lab at the new
Rainier Vista Center, launched a
vocational ESL and job placement
program in South King County and
helped connect working families in
White Center with public resources
to increase their self-sufficiency.
Becoming
self-sufficient. . . through jobs and skill training
By working directly with individuals,
families and communities, Neighborhood
House strengthens the bonds that unite
us. Bilingual case managers provide
culturally relevant aid to families, the elderly
and the disabled, helping them out of
financial and housing emergencies and
connecting them with services, medical
equipment and transportation.
This past year, we focused on financial
literacy and long-term planning and
on the welcoming of new residents to
the Rainier Vista, NewHolly and High
Point redevelopments. The first families
moved into High Point’s Breathe Easy
Homes, built by SHA in partnership
with Neighborhood House to meet the
needs of people with asthma, allergies
and other respiratory problems.
Strengthening
relationships. . .through community building
Neighborhood House, he says, opened his eyes, connecting him to “the system” that can lead to self-sufficiency and a feeling of belonging.
With the help of employment specialist Kamaria Al-Harazi, he got a job, a driver’s license, a bus pass and Ethiopian room-mates to share the rent of a north Seattle apartment.
He also completed a nursing assistant certification program and is receiving English-language instruction and tutoring.
Kamaria, also from Ethiopia, even helped him find a place of worship.
On a recent afternoon, Hailu wore sun glasses inside to hide his tired eyes. He is working nights at a gas station while he
waits for the nursing assistant certification that he hopes will qualify him for a well-
paying health care job at a hospital or long-term care facility.
“Hailu is very determined,” says Kamaria, who has been working with him almost since he arrived in the country more than two years ago.
He hopes to be reunited soon with his wife and three children, still living in Ethiopia. The separation has been diffi-cult, he says, but he believes the family’s sacrifice will be rewarded later with a better life.
“If my kids come here, they will have human rights and a nice education,” says Hailu, who owned a convenience store in Ethiopia but never felt like he was getting ahead. “Here you can earn
at least a basic living if you work hard. Dreaming is allowed.”
Being new to a country that is vastly different from the one you left is like
being blind, says Hailu Gago. “You have a vision, but no idea how to get there,”
relates the Ethiopian immigrant, speaking through a translator.
In her home country of Vietnam, tea time was a morning ritual. Neighbors would
get together to talk, rest and reflect on their daily lives.“Here people are too busy.
They don’t have time to sit down and enjoy tea,” says Sang Dang, who came to
the United States 15 years ago seeking an easier life and better educational and
career opportunities for her five children.
Neighborhood House case manager Long Luu gave Sang the support and opportunities she needed to make a life for herself and her family, which now includes grandchildren. Today, the 59-year-old works 15 hours a week through funding from the National Asian Pacific Center on Aging doing outreach for the agency that was her lifeline.
As coordinator of a Monday morning tea time group, she has helped keep a tradition alive among the Vietnamese immigrants now living in West Seattle’s High Point community. She also informs residents of meetings and events, encourages participation in a weekly walking group and community
gardening and helped recruit occupants for the new Breathe Easy homes at High Point.
As a Tea Time regular, she has seen how simple connections can nurture people whose lives bridge two very different cultures. The gatherings can turn into counseling sessions, she notes. People share troubles with children and marriages and
trade advice born of age and experience.
Tea Time “is a way of communicating with your Vietnamese friends,” she says, speaking through a translator. “It’s a way to
build relationships and learn along the way.”
1995: Neighborhood
House services reach more
than 7,000 public housing
residents, who represent
more than a dozen different cultures. By 1997,
more than half of our staff members speak a
language other than English.
2006: Neighborhood House
celebrates a century of building strong
families and strong communities.
