Nominations open for neighborhood improvement projects, with 10 slated for this spring<\/h2>\n

H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) is partnering with Nextdoor, the neighborhood hub, to ask Americans to nominate an improvement project in their neighborhood, ultimately fostering more conversations and connections to help local communities thrive. People can nominate a deserving project through Nextdoor or directly at the nomination website<\/a>. This spring, the companies will select 10 initial projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cNextdoor and H&R Block have a shared purpose to create stronger, kinder communities, and we both believe that starts with the neighborhood,\u201d said Sarah Friar, CEO of Nextdoor. \u201cI\u2019m excited to hear from neighbors around the country, to bring people together, and most importantly, to create connections.\u201d<\/p>\n

This partnership is part of H&R Block\u2019s new community impact platform, Make Every Block Better<\/a>. The company seeks to build sustainable connections in neighborhoods and for small business owners at a time when more Americans are experiencing increased social isolation.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day we see how social isolation negatively impacts our communities and neighbors,\u201d said Jeff Jones, H&R Block President and CEO. \u201cWe have more than 12 million cumulative hours of conversations with people each year as we help them prepare their taxes, discussing major life events and helping them with a significant financial moment in their year. These conversations are just the beginning of how we can foster more conversations in communities and tackle isolation year-round.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recent studies reveal that people are increasingly disconnected from the community around them. A Pew Research Center survey notes that only about a quarter of Americans living in the suburbs know all or most of their neighbors<\/a> and a study by the insurance company Cigna revealed that three in five Americans consider themselves lonely<\/a>. The rise in isolation has impacts on people\u2019s health with a study by the American Cancer Society finding that social isolation is linked to a higher risk of earlier death<\/a>, and Inc. reporting that loneliness is just as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes a day<\/a>.<\/p>\n
