What is a Neighborhood Association?
A neighborhood association is a group of people organized within a geographical area with the purpose of acting on issues affecting neighborhood and community livability. A neighborhood association is an independent, citizen-organized group that is separate from the City of Gresham. Every resident, business and property owner within an association's boundaries is a voting member of the association and there are no membership dues.
