Neighborhood Associations versus Homeowner’s Associations:
Who runs NAC meetings?
How do NACs benefit me and my community?
NACs provide neighbors with the opportunity to meet and discuss a variety of issues important to their neighborhood and the City. Perhaps most importantly, NACs promote ongoing communication and information sharing between neighbors and the NAC as well as between neighbors and the City.
Additionally, NACs often collaborate with the City to sponsor public involvement events and activities. Some of these activities include an annual Neighborhood Cleanup Day and a Neighborhood Summit (designed to inform citizens about current events and issues that impact their community).
The City also offers a Matching Fund program to assist NACs with neighborhood improvement projects, citizen involvement events, and other activities.

What does the City of Beaverton’s Neighborhood Program do?
Beaverton is a community of neighborhoods. These neighborhoods are all different, making a "one–size–fits–all" approach to addressing neighborhood issues inappropriate. The Neighborhood Program seeks to provide tools and programs to best address the issues of each neighborhood, while consistently providing quality service to all neighborhoods.
By creating and sustaining partnerships with City of Beaverton departments, neighborhood organizations, businesses, non–profit organizations, educational institutions, and others, the effort to stabilize and improve neighborhoods will be shared among many and success multiplied.
Individuals and families have choices when it comes to deciding where to call home. Businesses have options on where to locate. The influences on these choices are numerous; however, perhaps most important among them are financial considerations. The decision of where to live or do business involves a commitment of money and resources. Communities are measured on how solid or risky an investment may be. When it comes to neighborhoods, the perception of whether a neighborhood is improving, stable, or declining guides whether or not a person or family chooses to buy or rent a home there. The City of Beaverton’s Neighborhood Program sets out to stabilize and improve all of Beaverton’s neighborhoods.
