In 1994, Nehemiah Corporation of America ("Nehemiah") was established with a $5,000 loan from a Baptist church in Sacramento, California for the purpose of promoting homeownership and economic development for underserved populations and communities. Its first project supported the building of affordable senior housing for its congregation. In 1997, Nehemiah designed and introduced the first privately funded down payment assistance program in the US, the Nehemiah Down Payment Assistance Program. This program offered down payment assistance for low- to moderate-income families who had sufficient credit and income to qualify for a conventional loan but needed funds for a down payment. The Nehemiah Down Payment Assistance Program has helped over 325,000 families achieve homeownership and delivered gift funds of over $1.5 billion to households that would otherwise have not been able to afford a down payment on a new home. As part of the Nehemiah Down Payment Assistance Program, homebuyers have received valuable education courses that include financial management skills, budgeting, and credit management principles.

We have built a unique and highly effective system that allows us to create an individualized written, detailed, and carefully tailored plan for each student. This plan is constantly evaluated and adjusted to ensure that each student is making progress, meeting with success in multiple areas, and developing the knowledge and skills to communicate their needs in a clear, concise manner. We work closely with parents and outside professionals to ensure uniformity in practice and approach so that each student can reach their potential. Because intervention focuses on what is causing the behavior rather than the behavior itself, students are accepted and understood for who they are. This is achieved by setting realistic expectations, based upon each student`s individual needs, allowing student`s strengths to be further developed and weaknesses remediated. As students develop lagging skills, students are better able to self-manage and regulate their symptoms, resulting in overall success. In order to prepare our students to return to their home districts our curriculum is aligned to the New York State Learning Standards. In addition, we work collaboratively with school districts in developing IEP`s and preparing students to transition back to their home school. We also provide the following services: Professional development workshops, parent training, social skills training, curriculum development and transition planning.
