NHA Hosts Congressional Black Caucus 21st Century Council

The Neighborhood House Association (NHA) had the opportunity to show off its social service programs on a national scale when the Congressional Black Caucus Institute (CBCI) 21st Century Council came to San Diego in November for its quarterly meeting. As part of the program for this four-day event, NHA treated nearly 100 members of CBCI to a tour of one of its Head Start sites, as well as NHA's Nutrition Services kitchen, Senior Service Center and Family Services Center.

Members of NHA's staff and board of directors were also able to collaborate and network with CBCI officials throughout their stay by participating in seminars, workshops and social activities with the attendees. CBCI members left America's Finest City with a positive and lasting impression of San Diego and its community services.
