LA County’s Neighborhood Housing Services Department is hosting a Neighborhood Pride Day in Canterbury Knolls on Saturday, July 12, from 8am to 12 noon where local residents will partner with volunteers from throughout the county to work together to encourage reinvestment through property maintenance, yard work, alley clean up and some garden projects.
Neighborhood Councils that are interested in learning how to plan a Neighborhood Pride Day project in their community are invited to participate and to “learn from the inside.”
Neighborhood Housing Services of Los Angeles County (NHS) serves as a catalyst for local residents, business and government representatives to work together to build stronger neighborhoods, improve the quality of life for low to moderate income families of modest means and to revitalize communities into neighborhoods of choice.
NHS strengthens communities through the development and maintenance of quality affordable housing, creation and preservation of affordable homeownership opportunities, support of local leaders, providing financial education and increasing the financial independence of families and people in need.
Since 1984, NHS has developed and rehabilitated over 13,000 housing and commercial units, placed 2.47 million families on the road to homeownership, created 175 block clubs, employed 200 neighborhood youth, and invested more than $2.43 billion back into some of Los Angeles’ toughest neighborhoods.
