Neighborhood Services
The Neighborhood Services Division houses many of the city’s programs designed to engage and empower citizens in the areas that enhance their quality of life. Neighborhood Services meets the needs of the City’s diverse citizenry by serving as a primary referral resource for human services, coordinating and facilitating citizen involvement, and improving community relations.

The specialists are trained to help neighborhoods discover their strengths and assets and to mobilize people to take action on their own behalf. They assist residents as they form and maintain neighborhood-based organizations.
