Empowering Change. One Neighbor at a Time!
We’re not just another nonprofit — we’re your neighbors, friends, and local changemakers. Founded in 2015 by Hermosa neighbors, the HNA has been on a mission for a better quality of life for our residents, advocating for a better neighborhood, city services, schools, parks, health, and safety. Our goal as an organization is to provide community resources to residents in and around Hermosa and to promote community engagement.
