Creating connected neighborhoods#
Connected neighborhoods benefit the health and safety of their residents. The Neighborhood Connections program works to bring neighbors together within and across neighborhoods, building stronger connections while helping them better understand what City programs exist to support them and how to access them.
Neighborhood Connections does this by providing:
- No cost education on communication, collaboration, and the basics of neighboring
- Assistance planning and organizing a neighborhood event or gathering
- Grant funding to help make your gathering possible
- City staff present at your gathering upon request
And that's just the beginning.
