Our Philosophy

We believe organized communities can triumph over drug dealers and businesses that trample on the rights of neighbors to enjoy their lives. We believe much can be done to prevent blight and hazardous nuisance behavior. We believe neighborhoods are like living organisms; growing and having the potential to improve over time. As an organized community we can nurture our neighborhoods, make them stronger, safer and more beautiful places to live. We believe everyone benefits from having strong, safe, organized communites that are free from the ravages and exploitation of drug dealing and other businesses that destroy the quality of life for nearby residents.



We encourage communication and cooporation with your the city and police department. Often they are as frustrated as you by the situation. Working together we can win lasting positive change for the neighborhood.

Serving Your Community

Neighborhood Solutions serves a wide variety of neighborhoods regardless of income, race or religion. We have seen nuisances damage lives across the board, regardless of race, income or religion. If your community has been frustrated by trying to abate a nuisance problem that is interfering with people's rights to the enjoyment of their lives, contact us for assistance.

Next Heroes Celebration will be September 2006

Heroes' Celebration and Award Ceremony
September 2004

We celebrate and thank those in the community who are brave enough to take a stand against crime in the community. It is important to recognize the contributions of people who go above the call of duty. We need to thank the community leaders who spend countless hours of their personal time in improving their neighborhood. We all benefit from these efforts. Each year Neighborhood Solutions celebrates these accomplishments in a celebration and award ceremony to thank those who have made a difference through their personal sacrifice of time and energy.
