ANAHEI’M FIRST is led by residents — like you — to develop community programs that will transform the vitality and livability of each neighborhood in Anaheim.
What are the goals of ANAHEI’M FIRST?
This program is focused on resident-driven solutions that positively transform our neighborhoods — led by your neighbors in partnership with city officials, business, and community leaders. ANAHEI’M FIRST is the premier, game-changing initiative that will be implemented as part of the proposed 2030 Neighborhood Investment Program announced by Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidhu at his inaugural 2019 State of the City address. ANAHEI’M FIRST, in partnership with the City of Anaheim, is planning to conduct a comprehensive Anaheim Community Assessment to launch this program.
Here’s an overview.
ANAHEI’M FIRST is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN #83-4394225) formed on behalf of the community and supported by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, Visit Anaheim, and the Anaheim Community Foundation. ANAHEI’M FIRST will be led by a dedicated group of engaged residents, Neighborhood Leadership Council, who represent the socioeconomic and cultural diversity of each council district in Anaheim. The ANAHEI’M FIRST Neighborhood Leadership Council will connect with residents in all aspects of the program, including development of significant new infrastructure, expanded police and fire services, programs to maintain a strong local economy, and continuous reinvestment to build and maintain vibrant neighborhoods citywide.
Structured to Let Residents Lead.
The ANAHEI’M FIRST Neighborhood Leadership Council will guide critical decisions as the liaison between neighborhoods, city officials, and community stakeholders. The Neighborhood Leadership Council will consist of 100 community leaders; 15 neighborhood representatives from each district, and an additional 10 members representing business, non-profit organizations, and community stakeholders.
Expectations of Neighborhood Leadership Council Members.
ANAHEI’M FIRST Neighborhood Leadership Council members are dedicated to the mission and implementation of Anaheim’s proposed 2030 Neighborhood Investment Program. The members of the Neighborhood Leadership Council will make an annual commitment to attend Quarterly Summits, participate as stakeholders in a citywide Neighborhood Revitalization Assessment, and host monthly town hall meetings with residents, city officials, and community stakeholders. Outreach to residents will be conducted in Spanish, Vietnamese, Arabic and Korean.
MAYOR HARRY SIDHU
“For all of our districts, all of our neighborhoods and all of our residents, I want them to know that in Anaheim,
they are first.”
