• Creating a sense of safety and belonging
• You get access to information and resources. You can find out what’s happening on your street and in your city.
• Your neighborhood becomes safer. Many times neighbors are the first responders and the first to report. Do your neighbors know how to get ahold of you if they notice things like:  
  • Your garage door open?
  • A stranger lurking around your car?   
  • Your mail piling up?
• You may find out that an assumption based on a first impression is incorrect.
• You receive support and help as well as notice others in need. 
• You feel good! When you say hello in passing, wave when you drive by, or simply smile at a neighbor, you feel included with a stronger sense of belonging.
• Your social circle then expands. Seeing a familiar face daily leads to long lasting relationships.
• Try practicing the 9 House Model. In residential areas each homeowner or renter should try to get to know the neighbors that live in the three homes behind them, the three homes across the street from them and the neighbors on either side. The idea is to get to know some of the neighbors who live closest to you and then you can share contact information with each other in case any needs or emergencies arise. Business sized contact cards are a perfect way to carry your neighbors information.
• Continue communication with neighbors by hosting meetings, by starting a newsletter or sending out email updates, creating a social media group or by downloading the NextDoor App.
