Neighborhood Programs

Ensuring a safe, clean community

• Neighborhood Organizing - Neighborhood planners work with neighborhoods to get residents to come together to develop a strategy that builds stronger community relationships, taps resources and addresses their community’s needs.  Organized Neighborhood Associations can take advantage of many resources including cleanups, the Neighborhood Watch program and grants.

• Neighborhood Action Plans - A method for neighborhood associations to develop and execute a plan that involves residents, business owners and government agencies to accomplish the neighborhood goals.

• Adopt-a-Block/Clean Neighborhoods Program - Volunteers from neighborhood groups, associations or businesses agree to survey their neighborhood for graffiti, debris or overgrown vegetation and notify the Rapid Response team for timely follow up.

• Neighborhood Partners Fund (NPF) Grants - Neighborhood Services offers matching grants of up to $5,000 to fund community enhancement projects for neighborhood associations that bring matching volunteer labor, donated materials, supplies or cash.
