What is a Neighborhood
Association?
Simply put, a neighborhood
organization is any group that is:
Bringing people together,
Defined by a geographic
boundary, and Concerned about
issues that affect the
neighborhood/area.
Stated more comprehensively,
neighborhood associations draw
people closer to their city
government and closer still to their
fellow neighbors. Neighborhood
participation gives residents a
stronger, united voice in civic life
and joins them in shared
neighborhood projects.
Neighborhood associations are
inclusive, reflecting the diversity,
which enriches a community.
Members include families, singles,
retired people, youths, business
owners, faith-based organizations,
schools, homeowners, and renters.
Often, neighborhood
organizations are concerned
mostly with land-use issues. But
formally recognized and
well-developed Neighborhood
Associations can provide
recommendations to the City
Council, advisory boards and
commissions on a variety of
topics, including:
Land Use (zone changes,
variances, subdivisions, zoning
ordinances,Street development,
traffic control and patterns, Park,
open spaces ,Recreational
services,Library programs,Budget
allocations, Social services,Crime
prevention,Capital improvements
Neighborhood associations make
it possible for local residents to
have a greater influence over
issues, programs and projects that
affect their neighborhoods.
They offer a local forum for
citizen deliberation of key issues
at the local level and provide a
recognized vehicle for
communicating citizen views to
City Hall
What is the Geographic Area of
EARN?
Earn may operate and recruit
membership in the geographic
territory comprising the 14th and
15th Wards of Allentown.
The EARN Frontier boasts a
number of community and block
groups. Most of the organizations
fall into four categories:
neighborhood associations,
homeowners associations, block
clubs, and service organizations.
Many areas of this community
have organized under the
Community Watch program.
These groups are usually
organized at the block level, but
occasionally a number of block
groups will join together to be
part of an area-wide community
watch neighborhood. These
organizations are a great tool for
getting to know your neighbors
and the area in which you live.
