About Neighborhood Network Center 
Our Story

In 1998, the founding partners of United Housing Management LLC (now UHM Properties) and concerned residents joined together to establish the Neighborhood Network Center, Inc (NNC) in the Grove Hall Corridor of Greater Boston. The goal was to improve the lives of individuals and families residing in UHM Properties affordable housing communities, and the surrounding neighborhood.


Twenty plus years later, the goal remains the same. NNC works daily to provide innovative programs and services. With a dedicated staff of change agents and exceptional partners, NNC is building an equitable and just society by offering tangible opportunities for individuals and families to acquire the resources for success.



It’s simple. We love what we do.

Proud to serve Boston
