History1971--A big old farmhouse on the corner of May and 11th Street in Hood River was rented to house ten teenage foster children, both girls and boys. We called ourselves the Next Door, Inc. and the state of Oregon granted us non-profit status. Many of the youth were placed directly from the mental health system. During our first seven years, three directors helped dozens of young people live in the house as they went to public schools in town. Now--The Next Door, Inc. currently has about 80 employees, half of them full-time, housed in two offices and working in 28 different programs in six counties. We work alongside struggling parents, teens and kids, to give them a chance at a good life. We are certainly proud of how this agency has served the people in our communities over the past four decades and look forward to many more years of providing assistance and leadership.SpecialtiesYou may know The Next Door from participating in one of our parenting classes or playgroups.
