Early origins of the nonprofit NeighborWorks® America are traced to 1968, when Dorothy Mae Richardson, a Central North Side resident of Pittsburgh, started a campaign for better housing in her neighborhood. Dorothy Mae Richardson worked with city bankers and government officials to convince 16 financial institutions to give out conventional loans in the community. Her legacy was an organization named the Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) of Pittsburgh. Eventually, Neighborhood Housing Services of Pittsburgh became the national model for community-based housing initiatives throughout the country. In 1970, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, became involved with Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) of Pittsburgh, and started expanding the program by training savings and loan officers for urban areas nationally.
