NEAT is you! The North End Action Team (NEAT) evolved in 1996 from a city-sponsored Urban Homesteading Task Force, begun in response to widespread concerns about negative conditions in the city's North End. Resident activists and organizers believed that a grassroots effort should be undertaken to develop resident-driven leadership to assess problems, determine priorities, and develop solutions to neighborhood issues.  

Residents, stakeholders, and volunteer organizers began to meet weekly to establish a process from which to move the neighborhood onto higher ground. The North End Action Team was established in the summer of 1997.  

Since then NEAT has organized and provided advocacy on both bricks and mortar issues and on development of resident potential.

NEAT's monthly neighborhood meetings are held on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM at the Green Street Arts Center. Everyone is welcome to participate.  

Childcare is provided and there is pizza for the kids.  

NEAT has an office at 654 Main Street near the corner of Main and Rapallo Avenue. Visit our office and discuss your concerns and interests informally with NEAT members and staff or call us at  (860) 346-4845.
