Neighborhood Associations

Neighborhood associations are volunteer organizations made up of residents of a particular geographical area.  They are a useful tool for solving problems and improving the quality of life on the neighborhood level.

Common issues for neighborhood associations include:

  • Historic Preservation,
  • Zoning Changes
  • Code Violations
  • Beautification
  • Youth Activities,
  • Housing
  • Utilities
  • Resolution of problems between neighbors

Activities include:

  • Social Events
  • Neighborhood Watch
  • Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT)
  • Summer Stroll
  • Celebrate Safe Communities Month
  • Adopt-a-Street

Neighborhood associations are also eligible for the City’s Select Neighborhood Action Program (SNAP), a grant program that provides funding to neighborhood groups for neighborhood projects.
