BLOCK CLUBS AND BLOCK LEADERSHIP

Block Clubs

Corcoran Neighborhood Organization (CNO) encourages residents, including homeowners and renters, to organize and create stronger connections with one another, starting at the Block level. Positive relationships with neighbors reduce crime and foster a healthier environment in which to live, work, and play. CNO can help block leaders and block clubs organize around and discuss issues that affect their blocks.
