Neve ofer house
Located in South Tel Aviv, the Neve Ofer House is a residential care facility that provides relief to children identified by Israeli social welfare authorities. Accommodating eleven children, ages 8-18, the program operates as a long-term emergency residence for those who are unable to receive proper parental care at home.
The House enables participants to experience a warm and supportive home close to where they grew up and continue attending their current school during the day.
The Neve Ofer House provides a unique, close-knit family experience. The House Parents, Hodaya and Pinny, (along with their three children), treat the participants as an extension of their own family. The house uses a real-life family model that includes love, encouragement, and personalized resources to help the children reach their full-potential.

"I moved to the Neve Ofer house, By Court Order, when I was 8-yearS olD because my parents weren't able to take good care of me. I remember being so afraid, but Hodaya and Pinny made me feel so welcomed and right at home. Over time, I became close with the other children at the House too. I almost feel like their younger brother."
