NeighborGood Partners to Host "Raise the Roof" Fundraiser to Support Housing Stability in Delmarva

Live Music, Community Impact, and Fundraising at Rail Haus on May 1st

DOVER, DE – As housing affordability continues to be a growing concern in Delaware, NeighborGood Partners is stepping up to provide solutions through its Raise the Roof fundraising event on May 1, 2025, from 4 PM to 8 PM at Rail Haus in Dover. This lively gathering will bring the community together for an evening of live music, local brews, and inspiring stories of individuals whose lives have been touched by NeighborGood Partners housing programs.

With rent prices rising and homeownership becoming increasingly out of reach for many Delaware families, the need for housing stability programs has never been greater. NeighborGood Partners, is a trusted nonprofit with a long history of housing lending, financial education, and community development, working to ensure that local residents have access to safe, stable, and affordable housing.

“This event is more than just a fundraiser; it’s a chance for the community to come together and directly assist our neighbors in need,” said Karen Speakman, Executive Director of NeighborGood Partners. “Every dollar raised will go toward programs that help families secure housing, build financial stability, and create a path to homeownership.”
