Neighborhood Empowerment

The Department of Neighborhood Empowerment, as established by Charter, has the mission of promoting citizen
participation in government and making government more responsive to local needs by developing a citywide system of
neighborhood councils. The adopted Plan for a Citywide System of Neighborhood Councils (Plan) ensures that every
part of the City is within the boundary of a neighborhood council. The Department assists neighborhoods in preparing
petitions for recognition or certification, identifying boundaries that do not divide communities, and organizing
themselves, in accordance with the Plan. It coordinates the bi-annual Congress of Neighborhood Council meetings and
arranges training for the neighborhood councils' officers and staff.
