1) Neighborhood Matching Grant Update
The Neighborhood Matching Grant Program provides Kirkland neighborhoods the opportunity to apply for City funds to improve the quality of life in neighborhoods. Neighborhood matching grant funds have resulted in many physical improvements in the neighborhoods as well as community building activities. In the past, Central Houghton has used its grants primarily for the HoughtDown and neighborhood communications (website, newsletter, mailings, etc.). We will be finalizing our grant requests for the upcoming cycle.
- Top of the list will be the HoughtDown
- H style signs for meetings

2) Neighborhood Safety Program Update
