Neighborhood Information
The City of Topeka focuses on neighborhoods for housing and neighborhood development activity with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Grant, Shelter Plus Care, and Emergency Shelter Grant funds. These programs are developed and administered through the approved Consolidated Plan, the Annual Action Plans for Housing and Community Development and the Continuum of Care.

Once of the mechanisms for citizen participation and input is the Citizen Advisory Council (CAC). The Department utilizes the CAC as a sounding board for general policy decisions. The CAC is comprised of representatives of the Neighborhood Improvement Associations (NIA) as well as the community at large.

If you would like to contact a neighborhood association, please see the Neighborhood Organizational List.
