Benefits of A Neighborhood Association
Eugene has twenty-three (23) recognized neighborhood associations. Neighborhood involvement gives you an opportunity to have a voice in decisions that affect the livability of your neighborhood. Your neighborhood association is a great way to partner with other neighbors, the City and other organizations to develop solutions to shared problems. Being part of a neighborhood association connects you to people who share your vision of a healthy, vibrant and safe community.

Get Involved
Neighborhood associations are volunteer organizations that thrive and grow when everyone is involved. The following is a small sampling of the things that you can do to involve yourself in your neighborhood:

• Attend a neighborhood event or meeting, read the newsletter or check out their website
• Contribute to your neighborhood newsletter or website
• Improve neighborhood safety by organizing a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) or neighborhood watch group
• Organize your neighbors and apply for a matching grant
• Serve on the board of your neighborhood association
• Volunteer at a neighborhood event such as a picnic, potluck or neighborhood clean-up

Protecting Neighborhood Livability
Maintaining safe and livable neighborhoods for all is a shared responsibility.  Whether you are a long time homeowner, renter or here just a short time while attending college, we all have a part to play.  Be active, have fun and get involved in your community--but most of all Be a Good Neighbor!   Here are a number of valuable resources that promote livability in our neighborhoods:

• Your Neighbors and U
• Good Neighbor Video (as posted on youtube)
• Neighborhood Livability Working Group Progress Report  
• Party Safe-Party Responsibly
