ACHIEVEability’s Neighborhood Advisory Subcommittee
In 2006, ACHIEVEability was selected by the City of Philadelphia’s Division of Housing and Community Development to serve as the area’s Neighborhood Advisory Committee. As part of this commitment, we have a Neighborhood Advisory Subcommittee that is made up of 14 elected individuals that live, work or worship in our community. With this subcommittee, we communicate important information to the community, facilitate community events and meetings and provide community programs.
