Through activities as diverse as hosting a neighborhood festival and administering home improvement programs, the Bancroft Neighborhood Association (BNA) works to improve the neighborhood and the City as a whole. The BNA is a grass-roots, democratically-run, non-profit designed to meet the following key neighborhood goals:

  • Stimulate the interest of residents in the welfare of the community, and to actively support the improvement of the neighborhood.
  • Create an awareness of the problems and challenges of the community through the study of the needs of the residents of the area, participation in projects, meetings, discussions, and presentations of speakers.
  • Actively encourage widespread participation of neighborhood residents into long-range thinking and planning for needs and goals of the community.
  • Represent the community for constructive development in the areas of neighborhood beautification, zoning and land use planning, traffic control, police and fire protection, mass-transit, community public relations, local ordinance enforcement, coordination of government services provided including schools, parks, and libraries.

We look forward to working with YOU to meet these goals!
