Benefits of a Neighborhood Association

Eugene has twenty-three (23) recognized neighborhood associations. Active neighborhood associations provide everyone an opportunity to have a voice in decisions that affect the livability of their neighborhood and community. Neighborhood associations are a great way to partner with other neighbors, the City, and other groups to develop solutions to shared problems. Being part of a neighborhood association connects people who share a vision of a safe, healthy, and vibrant community.

• Organize your neighbors and apply for a matching grant
• Join the board of your neighborhood association or serve on a committee
• Volunteer at a neighborhood event such as a picnic, potluck or neighborhood clean-up
