Our Mission
The objective of Norhill Neighborhood Association (“NNA”) is to promote the civic and social welfare and well-being of the neighborhood; to encourage the prevention and suppression of crime in the community; to disseminate facts relating to the improvement and promotion of this vicinity; to preserve the residential character and integrity of the neighborhood.
What We Want to Achieve
NNA promotes the welfare of the North Houston Historic district of Norhill. The revenue obtained through membership dues and community fundraisers plus many hours of hard work by volunteers has enabled NNA to play a leading role in achieving:
- Protecting the integrity of the Norhill neighborhood by enforcing our Deed Restrictions
- Neighborhoods to Standards (sidewalks, lighting, etc.)
- Historic street lights for your safety
- Street marker restoration and painting
- Norhill Esplanade Beautification
- Historic Designation of our Neighborhood to maintain its character and integrity
- Monthly neighborhood information-filled meetings
