Our History & Stats

Neighbor To Family Inc. was founded by Gordon Johnson, as a 501(c)3 child welfare agency, where he served as President/CEO until his passing in 2015.  Headquartered in Daytona Beach,  Neighbor To Family currently serves communities in Florida, Georgia, and Maryland.

Neighbor To Family's nationally accredited and evidence-based sibling foster care program places abused and neglected children with their siblings in safe and stable foster homes.  

Our superior performance outcomes are enhanced by our Professional Foster Caregivers. These carefully screened and highly trained individuals have played an essential role in working with the more than 14,000 children served by Neighbor To Family since 1998.

Children in Neighbor To Family care will typically return to their own homes or alternative permanent placements in less than 9 months (the national average length of stay in care is 22 months).

In 2021, NTF served 2,479 children and 1,147 families in Florida, Georgia, and Maryland.
