About the Havenscourt Neighborhood Association

The Havenscourt Neighborhood Association (HNA), founded in 2018, is a volunteer-operated community organization. Our mission is to bring neighbors together to create a safe, supportive community that we can all be proud to call home.

HNA Board

The HNA board helps to organize our activities and maximize our impact. Board members may self-nominate or be nominated by members. They serve a one-year term and are eligible for re-election. Intents for candidacy are submitted prior to our October meeting, and elections take place in November. Terms run from January to January.

HNA board positions and descriptions are listed below. If you have questions about the board, wish to run for office, or volunteer as a HAT, please email us.

Havenscourt Action Teams (HATs)

Havenscourt Action Teams, or HATs, are groups of interested community members with a passion for improving specific aspects of Havenscourt.

There are currently three different HATs:

Outreach

Beautification

Focuses on neighborhood cleanup, tree planting, and other beautification efforts.

Safety

Focuses on public safety, crime, traffic, parking, and liaising with our Neighborhood Crime Prevention Councils (NCPCs).
