• The District One Coalition of Neighborhoods meets the first Wednesday of each month. PHAN aspires to send two representatives to each meeting and update our neighborhood about the greater community events and concerns.

• Neighborhood associations like ours are looking to increase attendance and “rebrand” in an attempt to generate greater neighborhood involvement. There is a common incorrect assumption that PHAN and other associations like us act as a homeowners association which we are not. We do not accept fees or “dues” and our goal is to increase community pride and community.
