We are the Eastown Community Association [ECA]. We are dedicated to building, backing, and broadening community through proactive neighboring and community improvement.
Here are some ways that we accomplish our mission:

- Reporting and recording housing code violations
- Establishing block clubs and encouraging proactive neighboring
- Envisioning and initiating strategies for Eastown’s future
- Hosting a garden club and planning for more green spaces
- Working in partnership with the Eastown Business Association (EBA)
- Collaborating with local colleges on student centered concerns
- Promoting and petitioning for the traffic calming devices and designs
- Helping homebound and low income residents find support services
- Seeking “ways and means” to enhance and expand community outreach
