FAQ | East Hollywood Neighborhood Council

Q: What is a Neighborhood Council?

A neighborhood council is an organized group of stakeholders in the community (residents – both renters and owners, business people, employees, students and other individuals with direct ties to the area) that serves as an advisory to the city. As representatives of the community, the neighborhood council allows both the community and city to be informed of its issues and needs, and ultimately creates a better sense of community and improves the quality of life in the area. Neighborhood councils also receive $45,000 a year from the City of Los Angeles for community improvements, projects and expenses. The City of Los Angeles has a system of over 80 certified neighborhood councils. Essentially, a neighborhood council is a forum for neighbors to meet, discuss the issues that concern them and work together to make the neighborhood better. The East Hollywood Neighborhood Council has a tradition of openness and involvement in the community. Neighborhood councils are an experiment in government coming up from the people in the community rather than down from City Hall. A neighborhood council is only as effective as the neighbors who choose to become involved.

Q: What do you do?

We connect neighbors to neighbors, the Los Angeles Police Department, and City government. The purpose of the East Hollywood Neighborhood Council is: 1. To contribute to the improvement of the quality of life in the East Hollywood community; 2. To encourage dialog, interaction and cooperation among East Hollywood’s diverse ethnic groups; 3. To promote public participation in City governance and decision making processes so that government is more responsive to local needs and requests; 4. To facilitate the delivery of City services and City government responses to East Hollywood’s problems and requests for assistance; 5. To foster a sense of community for all people to express ideas and opinions about their neighborhood and government; 6. To develop relationships with other communities and neighborhood councils on common issues. We do these in a variety of ways, from providing forums to speak to your local police officer, to drafting letters to the city government, to supporting projects in the neighborhood, to organizing all-community events. This is a forum to get neighborhood support for the projects you want to see done, to find resolutions to issues, and to dialog with other neighbors, neighborhoods, the City government.

The East Hollywood Neighborhood Council acts primarily as a forum for community issues and a liaison between the community and City government. If you have a specific issue, the best way to get the Neighborhood Council involved is to go to the web site and find a committee dedicated to your issue. Contact that committee and get your issue placed on the agenda. Since the Neighborhood Council is a relatively small, grassroots organization, gaining access to the neighborhood council is relatively easy. If what you want is to start a conversation in the community about an issue of concern to you, the easiest way to do that is come to a meeting of the EHNC and let us know about your concerns.
