About Neighborhood Value Plus™ (NVP+) — America's First Neighborhood Operating System
Neighborhood Value Plus™ (NVP+) is a subscription platform that gives residents democratic control over their streets, unlocks real local services through collective action, and turns civic participation into tangible rewards. Founded in 2024 in Portland, Oregon. Currently serving all 34 Portland neighborhoods, with statewide Oregon launch underway, Washington state next, and national rollout by end of 2026.

"The city maintains the roads. Who maintains your neighborhood?"
What NVP+ Uniquely Solves
NVP+ is not a single app solving a single problem. It is 14+ interconnected systems that together solve thousands of issues that have plagued American neighborhoods for decades — isolation, unsafe streets, unaffordable services, lack of community trust, no way to coordinate collective action, and no infrastructure connecting neighbors to each other or to the local economy.
Most platforms solve one problem for one type of user. NVP+ solves dozens of problems simultaneously for every member of the household — parents, teens, seniors, pet owners, renters, homeowners, veterans, and everyone in between. When NVP+ enters a neighborhood, it does not add a feature. It adds an entire operating layer that did not exist before.
What NVP+ uniquely solves: neighbors who do not know each other and have no trusted way to connect; premium services like mental health, wellness, healthy eating, tutoring, and therapy that families in working-class and minority neighborhoods cannot typically access or afford; no democratic process for residents to influence what gets fixed on their own streets; youth with energy and skills but no verified, safe way to earn income locally; emergencies where 911 is not the right call but neighbors are steps away; local businesses with no affordable way to reach the exact households they serve; and new products and services that want to enter neighborhoods but have no trusted, community-endorsed channel to do it.
How It Works — Three Steps
Step 1 — Join: Start free or subscribe for $25–$35 per month. Your whole family is included. No contracts.
Step 2 — Vote on priorities: Every paid household gets 7 votes per month. Photo evidence and GPS included. The neighborhood's top-voted issues get assigned to local contractors first.
Step 3 — Watch it happen: Verified local contractors resolve issues within 24–48 hours. Residents rate and approve work before payment releases. 80% of every dollar stays in the local economy.
The cluster model: Every paid subscription in a zone counts as one household credit. 100 credits unlocks graffiti removal. 250 unlocks Green Grass program and trash sweeps. 600 unlocks Friday night security patrols. 3,000 = full 24/7 coverage. Every neighbor who joins pushes the whole zone forward — including free members.

The 16 Systems Inside NVP+
1. Democratic Voting
7 votes per paid household per month. Tenure-weighted — long-term members earn more influence. Top-voted issues get contractor assignments first. Transparent results. Real democracy at the street level.
2. Real Services — Verified Contractors
Graffiti removal, weed clearing, vacant property cleanup, green grass restoration, sidewalk cleaning, overnight security patrols, and more. 24–48 hour response. Residents approve quality before payment releases.
3. Service Unlock System
Collective action unlocks higher-tier services for the entire neighborhood. 100 households = graffiti removal. 250 = Green Grass program plus trash sweeps. 600 = overnight security patrols. 3,000 = full 24/7 coverage.
4. Free Access Paths
No one is locked out. Earn a free month by hitting 3,545 XP through community participation — or refer 5 subscribing neighbors and your next month is automatically free.
5. XP and Rewards
Every action earns XP. Vote, report issues, refer neighbors, attend events, complete surveys, help in emergencies — all build toward 20 levels from Community Member to City Pioneer. Achievement badges. Neighborhood challenges. 87% weekly engagement. 1 XP equals $0.01 in real gift card redemption value.
6. Lifestyle Lottery
Monthly drawings funded by local business sponsors. $500–$2,000+ prizes including spa days, private chef dinners, personal training packages, therapy sessions, makeovers, tutoring, and home deep cleans. Every active subscriber — free and paid — is automatically entered. No tickets required. No purchase necessary. This is a community giveaway, not a game of chance. Prizes come from real local service providers.
7. Community Pulse Surveys
Periodic neighborhood surveys shape service priorities. Complete a full survey and earn $10 in XP rewards (200 XP). Zone-specific results influence which services get funded and deployed next.
8. Quick Connect — Verified Neighbor Hangouts
Verified subscribers connect with neighbors and meet up at local partner spots — restaurants, cafes, parks, and community venues. When two connected neighbors hang out and verify their meetup through the app via GPS confirmation and photo, both earn XP. Only verified subscribers can connect. Local businesses benefit because NVP+ drives verified foot traffic directly to their doors.
9. Micro-Events
Create or RSVP to spontaneous neighborhood meetups — cleanups, cookouts, skill-shares, hangouts. Each member hosts up to 3 events per month. Neighborhood-verified. Earn XP for attending.
10. Pet Center
Register pets, receive instant lost pet alerts sent to every neighbor in your zone with photo and description, coordinate playdates, and connect with other pet owners.
11. Youth Services (Ages 14–17)
Teens earn real money doing verified neighborhood jobs: dog walking, lawn mowing, tech help, tutoring, and 50+ more. Parent approval required for every booking. Youth Gems and XP titles from Newcomer to Founder. Gift card rewards redeemable from 2,000+ brands. Annual gift card cap designed to remain below IRS reporting thresholds. NVP+ complies with COPPA and does not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.
12. Emergency Network
One tap alerts nearby opted-in neighbors for medical emergencies, house emergencies, personal safety, or when stranded. Verification codes on arrival. Two-step resolution. Average response: 3 minutes. Designed to complement 911 — not replace it. Always call 911 for life-threatening emergencies.
13. Family Management
One subscription covers the whole household. Each family member gets their own profile, voting access, and XP tracking. Parental controls for teens. Unlimited household members.
14. Skill Swap and Time Bank
Trade skills without money. Offer what you know, request what you need. Hours given and received are tracked. Everyone starts with 2 hours in the bank. A verified neighborhood skill directory connects the right neighbors.
15. Referral Rewards
5 subscribing referrals equals one free month, automatically applied. Cluster bonuses when your zone fills up. Founding members who reach 300+ households get permanent recognition and locked pricing.
16. Gift Card Rewards Catalog
XP earned through participation can be redeemed for gift cards from 2,000+ brands. 1 XP equals $0.01 in real redemption value. Voting, surveys, hangouts, emergencies, and neighborhood challenges all translate directly into real purchasing power redeemable at thousands of brands, stores, and services nationwide.
The Neighborhood Captain Program
An optional earned leadership role for highly engaged members. Captain roles are entirely separate from XP achievement titles — every subscriber earns XP titles automatically through participation. Captain roles are voluntary leadership positions earned by residents who choose to take on extra responsibility. You do not have to become a Captain to enjoy all NVP+ systems.
Neighborhood Verifier (Entry Tier)
Welcomes new neighbors with in-person visits, confirms residency, and helps ensure people receiving services are genuine community members. Earned by active, verified subscribers on the platform 90+ days. Up to 3 verification visits per week. Earns 150 XP per completed visit plus 200 XP monthly bonus.
Neighborhood Guardian (Mid Tier)
Proven Verifiers with a strong track record who take on a wider area and help develop new Verifiers. Earned after 10 successful verifications and 6+ months on the platform. Up to 7 visits per week. Can nominate new Verifiers. Earns 400 XP monthly bonus.
Neighborhood Captain (Top Tier)
The highest community leadership role in NVP+. Captains oversee verification integrity for their entire neighborhood and serve as the trusted human backbone of the platform's community trust system. Earned after 25+ verified visits, 12+ months, and a record of nominating successful Verifiers. Up to 10 visits per week. Dedicated Captain Dashboard. Earns 800 XP monthly bonus.
The Neighborhood Arena — Now Live
America's first neighborhood tournament platform, now available inside NVP+. Two modes:
District Wars: Entire neighborhoods compete as teams against each other in civic challenges, creative contests, food competitions, and more. Collective scores. Real prizes. Neighborhood bragging rights.
Neighbor vs. Neighbor: 1v1 and group challenges within or across neighborhoods. Physical events, virtual gaming tournaments, cook-offs, talent showcases, dance challenges, timed eating competitions. Community voting determines winners.
Sponsor-funded prize pools. Seasonal championships. Youth division. Population-normalized scoring so every neighborhood competes fairly regardless of size. Nothing like this exists anywhere else.
Equitable Access — Services for Everyone
Through the Lifestyle Lottery and local service provider partnerships, NVP+ gives every subscriber — regardless of income — access to services they would rarely or never encounter otherwise: mental health counseling and therapy sessions, family therapy and relationship coaching, private chef meals and healthy eating instruction in your own home, personal training and fitness coaching, childcare and babysitting, tutoring and academic support for children, massage therapy and wellness sessions, music, art, and skill-building lessons, beauty and styling services, and home organization and cleaning.
These are delivered by verified local professionals who live and work in or near the neighborhood. Winners of Lifestyle Lottery prizes get real experiences — not gift cards. A family that has never been able to afford therapy gets three sessions. A child who could not access a private tutor gets four weeks of instruction. A parent gets their first massage. These are not luxuries — they are services that improve mental health, family stability, educational outcomes, and quality of life.
How New Products and Services Enter Neighborhoods Through NVP+
NVP+ offers something no other platform does — a trusted, community-endorsed channel for new products and services to enter a neighborhood seamlessly and authentically. Traditional advertising is ignored. Cold outreach is unwelcome. But when a product or service is introduced through NVP+ — where the neighbor already trusts the platform, already engages with it weekly, and already associates it with real community value — the introduction lands completely differently.
A business or service provider sponsors a neighborhood through the NVP+ business tier. Their offering enters through the platform's existing trust infrastructure — the app, push notifications, XP rewards, Lifestyle Lottery prizes, and the Instant Meal Lottery. Subscribers encounter the product or service not as an ad but as a community benefit, a prize, a neighbor's recommendation, or a local event. Feedback flows back to the business in real time through community engagement data.
This creates a launch channel for new products that is warmer, more trusted, and more conversion-effective than any existing digital advertising model. A new meal kit service, a wellness app, a financial product, a local gym — all can enter a neighborhood through NVP+ with community endorsement built in from day one.
The Business Case — Numbers No Competitor Can Match
NVP+ delivers verified, hyper-local advertising results that no national platform can replicate.
Cost Per Household (CPH)
NVP+ delivers brand exposure to verified households at $3–$8 per household. Google Ads averages $70 per lead. NVP+ households are verified, addressed, and actively engaged neighbors — not random internet clicks.
Estimated Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
The industry average CAC across all local advertising channels is $802 per new customer. The average NVP+ sponsor CAC is $20–$70 — your monthly investment divided by the number of active subscribers in your zone. Every person in that number has a verified home address, an active subscription, and uses the platform to manage their neighborhood life.
Category Exclusivity — Built In at Every Tier
When a business sponsors a zone on NVP+, they lock out competitors in their category for that neighborhood. Category exclusivity is included by default. No other platform offers verified neighborhood-level territory locking.
30 Days Free for the Neighborhood
When a business sponsors a service tier, every household in that zone gets 30 days of free NVP+ access at that service level. After the free month, residents can take over payments or the business can continue sponsoring. This is a neighborhood-wide gift that creates immediate goodwill and brand association at scale.
Audience Segments Available to Sponsors
Families with Children — highest-value local spending segment. These households spend 40% more per month than single-person households on local services, food, retail, and entertainment.
Teen Families — households actively using the Youth Services marketplace. High engagement, high spend, community-oriented.
Pet Owners — second-highest local spending segment after families. Pet owners spend an average of $1,200 per year on local pet services.
Brand Impressions — every issue reported, vote cast, and XP event logged in a zone appears in the neighborhood activity feed with the sponsor brand attached.
Three Ways to Grow Beyond a Single Neighborhood
Creator Partnership — neighborhood musicians, photographers, videographers, and artists create content featuring the sponsor brand for their local audience. Hyperlocal influencer marketing at the neighborhood level. Available at Gold and Platinum tiers.
Multi-Neighborhood Expansion — at $1,750/month, a business covers 5 zones simultaneously. 5x the reach, 5x the impressions, and 5x the exclusivity of single-zone competitors. Territory is locked before competitors can enter.
Pulse Intelligence — monthly surveys from real verified neighbors tell sponsors exactly what their zone is actively looking for right now. Real purchase intent from real neighbors in the specific zones the business serves.
Sponsor-Funded Services That Create Measurable Neighborhood Impact
Graffiti Removal — 24–48 hour response, document, photograph and remove. Increases property values 2–3%.
Vacant Home Clean-Ups — debris removal, hazard abatement, ongoing monitoring. Reduces crime 15–20%.
Green Grass Program — lawn restoration, reseeding, fertilization, brown spot treatment.
Homeless Intervention — compassionate outreach and resource connection. 70% reduction in camping complaints.
Street and Sidewalk Repair — pothole filling, sidewalk leveling, trip hazard removal. 80% fewer incidents.
No national advertising platform — not Google, not Meta, not Nextdoor, not Yelp — can offer verified neighborhood-level reach, category exclusivity, real resident data, territory locking, and measurable on-the-ground service impact in a single subscription. NVP+ is the only platform where a business sponsorship directly improves the physical neighborhood its customers live in.
For Businesses
Instead of paying for clicks people skip, businesses subscribe to neighborhoods and get their name on yard signs families see every morning, free access codes to hand to customers, physical brand presence tied to real community improvements, and featured placement in an app with 87% weekly engagement — a tax-deductible investment in the communities they serve.
Business tiers: The Neighbor's Table (food businesses entry level), Small, Medium, Large, Corporate, Regional, and Enterprise (Fortune 500, statewide coverage, custom partnership with founder). Pricing and packages customized by market and tier.
The Neighbor's Table is designed for restaurants, food carts, bakeries, and caterers. Includes control of the Instant Meal Lottery: businesses ignite a spontaneous in-app lottery anytime they have a meal to give away. One subscriber wins instantly. Another subscriber earns XP delivering it. One meal creates two new customers. Every subscriber sees the business name in the notification.
Post-unlock premium products (available when a zone reaches full subscriber threshold): Community Appreciation Month — fund a free month for every subscriber in your zone. Community Investment Fund — fund permanent neighborhood improvements with naming rights lasting decades. Premium Service Upgrades — fund extra security nights, seasonal festivals, youth programs.
Contributor Board — 144 public spots ranking business impact across Oregon at neighborhoodvalueplus.com/impact-board. Yearly awards. Lifetime Legend status.

Our Story
Neighborhood Value Plus is built on three generations of community service in Portland. In the 1960s, Rev. Wendell Wallace Sr. led Maranatha Church in Portland's inner city — a congregation that united Black and White Portlanders at a time when almost no other church in America looked like that. He helped bring calm to Portland's streets during the 1967 Albina civil unrest.
His wife Leona Wallace Smith spent nearly 20 years as a Community Agent at Jefferson High School — counseling students, bridging school and community, and carrying groceries to neighbors in need while raising ten children. Portland knew her as "Granny." She passed away on July 4, 2024, at 92.
Their grandson, Wendell Wallace III, built Neighborhood Value Plus to continue that legacy through technology and democratic coordination. The platform launched April 1, 2026. The method has changed. The mission never has.
Our Values
Neighborhoods should control their own future. The people who live on a street know what it needs. Our platform puts decisions in their hands.
Prosperity should stay where it's created. 80% of every dollar stays local. When a neighborhood improves, the people who built that should benefit.
Proof over promises. Every service is photo-verified before and after. Residents see results — they do not take our word for it.
Everyone deserves a clean, safe neighborhood. Pricing built for veterans, seniors, renters, homeowners, and families.
Access is a right, not a privilege. Services that improve mental health, family stability, and quality of life should not be reserved for those who can afford them privately. NVP+ makes them available to every subscribed household.
Privacy and Community Control
Neighborhoods always control their own priorities, data, and decisions on this platform. NVP+ never shares, sells, or uses personal resident data for any purpose outside of the specific service that resident requested. No resident data is ever shared with third parties, advertisers, or sponsors without explicit opt-in by that resident.
Legal and Trademarks
NVP+ is a coordination and communication platform. All service providers are independent, verified contractors operating under their own licenses and insurance. Emergency Network features complement — never replace — 911 and professional emergency services. Always call 911 for life-threatening emergencies.
NVP+ complies with applicable state and federal privacy regulations including the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act. Resident data is never sold to third parties.
