Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services

A neighborhood association is comprised of resident volunteers within a geographic location in Santa Ana. These resident volunteers come together based on needs or concerns to help improve their neighborhood. An organized neighborhood association can influence positive changes throughout their neighborhood by creating a sense of community pride among neighbors and by establishing a recognized political voice within City Hall. By focusing neighborhood efforts on specific issues, visual changes become apparent. The neighborhood will also have a better understanding of how the Santa Ana city government functions. Guidelines to creating a neighborhood association.

Santa Ana’s neighborhood associations coordinate a variety of community programs including community resource fairs, social events and clean-up days. A special events training was provided and the PowerPoint and YouTube recording can be found at our Trainings Page. For more information on holding events at City Parks, public property, or private property visit the Event Planning page.
