ONIC's Resident Services (RS) program is committed to improving the quality of life for residents through a broad range of services centered on three core pillars: housing stability, community engagement, and asset building. During the 2023 fiscal year, RS provided essential support, including rental and emergency assistance, unemployment benefits, food delivery, and access to health services. The program also organized community activities to combat the lingering effects of isolation that persisted even as the pandemic receded. Throughout the year, RS engaged in 1,311 interactions with 11,564 participants, of which 2,325 were unique individuals. The program also benefited from 2,487 hours of volunteer service provided by 199 unique volunteers. While the pandemic's impact diminished, RS services remained crucial in addressing both the ongoing effects of the pandemic and the evolving needs of the ONIC community.
