The City of Auburn’s Neighborhood Program strives to create and maintain safe and friendly neighborhoods that keep Auburn a great place to work, live and raise a family.

The community identifies a project they would like to complete and determines what they are able to contribute (cash, volunteer hours, in-kind services, etc.) and then applies for a cash grant from the City to match the amount provided by the community.
