The Raleigh Neighborhood Registry is a list of neighborhood-based organizations throughout the city and its extraterritorial jurisdiction. The Neighborhood Enrichment Services Division established the Neighborhood Registry in 2002 to get residents more involved in decisions affecting their neighborhoods.

Forming an Organization 
The Neighborhood Enrichment Services Division can help you organize your neighborhood and establish bylaws for free. Forming a neighborhood-based organization is focused on bringing people together to work for the betterment of all in your community. Neighborhood-based organizations succeed when residents are eager and willing to make their own decisions about programs and projects.

Benefits of forming an organization include:

  • Creating a way for neighbors to get to know and support each other
  • Empower residents to make changes and reach goals 
  • Form a unified voice and influence in community affairs
  • Foster better communication with local government and other agencies.
  • Support responsibility for keeping the neighborhood healthy and vital.
