A neighborhood organization is a group of residents from a specific geographic area who come together to address common concerns, improve their community, and advocate for their collective interests. These associations are typically more structured and formalized than casual neighborhood groups, often with established bylaws, elected officers, and specific membership criteria. These associations focus on a range of issues, including safety, beautification, community development, zoning and advocacy. Forming a neighborhood organization allows the citizens of Atlanta to achieve common goals while promoting community cohesion.
