Our Mission
The SoNo Neighborhood Alliance will serve as a platform for residents (homeowners,  renters,  small businesses and property owners) of the communities of North Park and Golden Hill/South Park to work together to enhance the quality of life in their neighborhoods. ​The Alliance, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, will focus its attention on residential quality-of-life issues that include land use and development, traffic, green space, parking, and code compliance. It will strive to ensure that laws are obeyed and enforced. It will call on elected officials and municipal agencies to be accountable to all their constituents and diligent in fulfilling their responsibilities. It will seek to foster diversity through special outreach to underrepresented groups, build consensus, and generate solutions.

Our Purposes

The primary purposes of the SoNo Alliance will be:
  • Publishing ​electronic news bulletins and hosting public forums and other community activities aimed at gathering feedback, identifying “best practices” that promote civic improvement, and ultimately mobilizing members to decide upon and take appropriate actions to uphold residential interests.

  • Assisting members in learning about laws affecting residential quality of life and in identifying and utilizing available San Diego municipal services and other public resources.
    ​
  • Keeping members informed on a timely basis about new and pending commercial development activities, including building and demolition permits, variance requests, and applications for alcohol licenses.​
  • Engaging property owners, developers, and city officials in a dialogue about the need for affordable housing that is equitably dispersed throughout San Diego.
    ​
  • Working to educate voters and increase voter turnout in community planning group elections.
