ONIC’S
RESIDENT SERVICES PROGRAM
|
ONIC
created its Resident Services Program
in May, 1998 to coordinate enrichment
and enhanced services for residents
with the purpose of increasing their
quality of life. ONIC’s Resident
Services Program delivers a range of
services and activities to its residents,
while effectively providing opportunities
for residents to utilize initiatives
for skill building, leadership development,
independence and self-sufficiency.
The success of the Resident Services
Program results from partnerships, collaborative,
and coordinated efforts within our communities;
and the pursuit and acquisition of in
kind services, donations and grants
to implement services, programs, special
initiatives and additional resources.
The Orlando Neighborhood Improvement
Corporation promotes residents’
empowerment through the coordination
of enhanced programs and services, which
include support services, special events,
educational, recreational, health, and
employment activities as directed by
the Resident Services Component.
A major function of the Resident Services
Program is to provide a conduit for
ONIC, its residents and neighbors to
communicate feedback and gain input
regarding their development and operations.
