ONIC markets more than “roofs and walls,” establishing a Resident Services Program

(RSP) as a community building and engagement strategy/tool which provides en-

hanced asset building services and leadership development opportunities designed to

increase our residents’ quality of life. RSP supports its residents through the imple-

mentation and coordination of activities, services, and programs determined by resi-

dent input and interest. Expected outcomes include satisfied, involved, vested, eco-

nomically resilient residents and healthy, sustainable, communities.

ONIC’s Resident Services and Community Engage-

ment Program delivers a planned range of activities and services implemented

through partnerships and collaborative efforts of existing community re-

sources, organizations, and is supported by its management company.

All activities, events and services are coordinated by the RSP, structured with

the following objectives which are aligned with ONIC’s mission to impact sta-

ble thriving communities with asset building programs:

To increase resident retention, reduce turnover, and promote a stable com-

munity

To encourage positive and effective ways for community residents’ engagement

To promote harmony with all cultures and to encourage a safe environment for all residents

To increase knowledge, skills and wealth building of community residents while encouraging care of

property

Prodigy Cultural Arts is a research-proven diversion and prevention program that provides a safe space where chil-

dren ages 7-17 learn communication, problem solving, and anger management skills through the visual and per-

forming arts. Since its establishment in 2007, ONIC Prodigy has served more than 3,000 youth, with program-

ming offered at eight of its communities on a rotating basis. Classes have included hip hop pro-

duction, mixed media art, visual arts, drama, stage production, photography, creative expression,

drumming, and dance, featuring instructors who are professionals in their area of expertise.

Targeted to at-risk youth, Prodigy is an evidence-based program with a non-recidivism rate of

90%. Through a Positive Youth Development Model and an asset-based approach, Prodigy nurtures and devel-

ops the unique skills, talents, and abilities of each child, using the visual and

performing arts as an enjoyable way for youth to avoid delinquent behavior and

develop positive life skills. The Annual ONIC Prodigy Showcase represents an-

other avenue by which we support our youth, through a larger-scale event fea-

turing a youth art gallery and performances for the wider community, thereby

reinforcing our children’s accomplishments and developing their positive self-

image.

Funded by the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, Prodigy was originally founded as a partnership of the

University Area Community Development Corporation, Inc., the USF School of Social Work, and Bay Area Youth

Services, Inc.

A familiar face at ONIC properties for nearly 10 years, Robert “Bob” Jordan is ONIC’s Mas-

ter Gardener and Resident Leader, who has devoted countless hours and energy to shar-

ing his skills and expertise not just at his home community,

Hollowbrook, but at nearly every ONIC property. Since join-

ing the ONIC volunteer team, Bob has conveyed his passion

for gardening by providing community tutorials, mentoring

fellow Master Gardeners, and providing guidance on every

nascent community garden. In the past year alone, Bob com-

mitted more than 100 hours of his time to developing the

community garden at Hollowbrook.

Since joining the ONIC volunteer team in 2011, Juliette Victor has distin-

guished herself as a positive force in ONIC communities. Through her par-

ticipation in the Resident Prosperity Program, Juliette not only achieved her

personal financial goals, but she also earned a scholarship from CareerSource

Central Florida to Valencia College, where she earned her Certificates in Ac-

counting and Business. Committed to using her financial skills in the service

of her community, Juliette became a certified Florida Money Master Mentor

volunteer, providing community workshops on budgeting and saving, which

have proved very effective through her relatable, relaxed peer-to-peer in-

structor style. From hosting resident appreciation events, to food drives, tu-

toring, community gardening, Juliette’s volunteerism has been wide-ranging

and extensive, even as a former resident now.

Marlene Lopez has worn many hats: Prosperity Program Gradu-

ate, Community Leadership Institute member, Master Garden-

er, project leader, translator, ESL instructor, and food distribu-

tion coordinator. Initially part of the Resident Prosperity Pro-

gram in 2014, Marlene’s participation marked the beginning of

her involvement with ONIC, and was soon followed by her in-

volvement in a neighborhood leadership circle, where she be-

came a leader in the implementation of Hidden Cove’s first community garden. From this, Mar-

lene volunteered to become a regular translator, developed and implemented a 5-day ESL crash

course, and now continues to teach ESL.

. . . such as for these resident leaders:
