Neighborhood Resource Unit

The City Of Gilroy Neighborhood Resource Unit is available to assist with improving the "Livability" of all neighborhoods in Gilroy. Our goal is to strengthen, promote, enhance and preserve healthy neighborhoods through outreach, education, and resources.

The Neighborhood Revitalization unit works to assist neighborhood associations and those who want to organize to improve their neighborhoods. This is done through neighborhood meetings, neighborhood clean-ups, community events, school events, and other neighborhood projects.

The following is a list of services that our unit can assist with.

STOP (Stop Trespassing on Public / Private Property) a program designed especially for absentee landlords addressing the growing issue of trespassing on both public and private properties, 602 (n) & (k) PC No Trespassing Penal Code, assist with Conflict Resolution and Mediation, coordinate Landlord & Property Management Training workshops, and Community Watch trainings.

In addition, we work very closely with neighborhoods groups (new and existing) and assist them by encouraging them to apply for neighborhood grants from one of the following:

• Community Foundation of Silicon Valley Neighborhood Grants Program, www.cfsv.org, (408) 278-0270
• United Neighborhoods of Santa Clara County, www.unscc.org, (408) 286-8661
• Resources For Families and Communities, (408) 528-6700

These neighborhood grants can assist neighborhoods to conduct activities, which can strengthen or build community, improve neighborhood conditions, and address issues important to neighborhood quality of life.
