Overview
Most residents don’t know or interact with more than a few of their neighbors or civil servants, and are unaware of established community and government resources; without mechanisms to connect, communicate, and collaborate, they are left frustrated and apathetic, unlikely to act or advocate for themselves or each other, nor feel vested in the neighborhood where they live. In today's economy, demand for municipal and social services are on the rise while resources to finance and deliver these services are scarce. We can help!
Our mission is to connect people who live, work, and serve in the same neighborhood and provide tools for them to communicate and to collaborate around common interests.
We envision neighborhoods where neighbors know the names of their neighbors and those who serve them, are safe and happy, have access to services and share resources, and feel motivated to proactively contribute to each other’s quality of life.
