Our Services…

Created in 1992 to ensure a comprehensive response and to promote the overall wellness of the city’s neighborhoods, the Neighborhood Services Department (NSD) administers and coordinates implementation of various neighborhood plans, programs and services both interdepartmentally and in partnership with our community. The City’s Neighborhood Wellness Action Plan provides guidance for neighborhood-based City services.  Organized in the three service areas, the Department directly administers services centered on housing and neighborhood development, neighborhood code compliance and neighborhood community engagement.

• Neighborhood Relations Division
• Neighborhood Code Compliance Division
• Neighborhood Programs Division

The Neighborhood Services Department also provides staff support to the Neighborhood Services Advisory Board (NSAB). The purpose of the NSAB is to assist in gathering citizen concerns and providing direction for Neighborhood Wellness activities.  The Department also provides staff support for implementation of the City’s intergovernmental agreement with the City of Urbana and Champaign County to appoint and provide board leadership for the Housing Authority of Champaign County.
