the beginning of our neighborhood association
How did FoCM neighborhood association begin?
In 2016, we started as a small group of neighbors, concerned about the direction alley development was taking in Sacramento, particularly in the 2200 block of Capitol Avenue. We began by meeting and expressing our concerns to the developer, then to the City's Preservation Commission, the Planning Commission and later, to the City Council.
While we eventually resolved our concerns about the proposed development, we realized there was tremendous potential if we moved forward to a more permanent status, enlarging our membership and continuing to work together to resolve neighborhood concerns.
In June of 2018, we were officially designated as 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Since then, we've expanded our mission to include neighborhood beautification, area safety, historic education and a focused activism directed to the future heath and improvement of our unique urban community.
