One Neighborhood Builders

💙 To every father who shows up — this one's for you.

The dads who work long hours to keep a roof over their family's heads. The grandfathers who are still showing up long after their own children are grown. The father figures who stepped in when it mattered most.

At ONE Neighborhood Builders, we know that behind every stable home is often a father who refused to quit.

Happy Father's Day to all the men holding their families and communities together. 💚

💙 Para cada padre que se presenta — este día es para ti.

Los papás que trabajan largas horas para mantener un techo sobre la cabeza de su familia. Los abuelos que siguen dando la cara mucho después de que sus propios hijos han crecido. Las figuras paternas que intervinieron cuando más se necesitaba.

En ONE Neighborhood Builders, sabemos que detrás de cada hogar estable hay, a menudo, un padre que se negó a rendirse.

¡Feliz Día del Padre a todos los hombres que sostienen a sus familias y comunidades! 💚

June is National Immigrant Heritage Month — and in our neighborhoods, we celebrate it every day.

Our communities are stronger because of the families who crossed borders, oceans, and barriers to build a life here. The parents who learned a new language so their children wouldn't have to struggle. The grandparents who carried their culture across continents and planted it right here in Rhode Island.

At ONE Neighborhood Builders, we believe every family deserves a safe, stable place to call home — no matter where they come from.

This month and every month, we honor the courage, resilience, and contributions of our immigrant neighbors. 💚

🌍 Junio es el Mes Nacional del Patrimonio Inmigrante — y en nuestros vecindarios, lo celebramos todos los días.

Nuestras comunidades son más fuertes gracias a las familias que cruzaron fronteras, océanos y barreras para construir una vida aquí. Los padres que aprendieron un nuevo idioma para que sus hijos no tuvieran que luchar. Los abuelos que llevaron su cultura a través de los continentes y la sembraron aquí mismo en Rhode Island.

En ONE Neighborhood Builders, creemos que cada familia merece un lugar seguro y estable que pueda llamar hogar — sin importar de dónde venga.

Este mes y todos los meses, honramos el valor, la resiliencia y las contribuciones de nuestros vecinos inmigrantes. 💚

A new report from Rhode Island’s Office of the Health Insurance Commissioner just confirmed something the communities we work in have been living for years: access to healthcare isn’t equal — and where you live, what you earn, and what language you speak all play a role.

The disparities are stark: 1 in 3 Hispanic Rhode Islanders has no regular doctor, low-income families are 4x more likely to go without primary care. Less than half of Medicaid enrollees had a wellness visit last year.

At ONB, we know that housing and health are inseparable. Families living in unsafe, overcrowded, or unstable housing face more chronic illness, more stress, and more barriers to getting care. And when primary care access is already scarce for low-income and Hispanic Rhode Islanders — the same neighbors we serve every day — those gaps compound.

Stable, affordable housing isn’t just a roof. It’s a health intervention. And Rhode Island needs both. Read the full OHIC report here:https://rhodeislandcurrent.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/OHIC-Primary-Care-Report-2026_final-v2.pdf
