Origin of Alief Super Neighborhood

During Mayor Lee Brown's administration, 88 Super Neighborhoods were created in the City of Houston to encourage cooperation and solve problems at the community level.    The Alief Super Neighborhood (ASN) #25 was officially recognized on June 22, 2000. Since then ASN has been working to improve our community: neighborhoods, streets, lighting, security, schools, parks, youth programs, and much more, in order to benefit ALL ALIEF RESIDENTS. Interested citizens working together decide which improvements their neighborhoods need.
A City of Houston liaison is assisting our Alief Super
Neighborhood Council (ASNC) to create the annual ACTION PLAN to address the needs of the community. All recommendations are determined on a local level.
In 2003 Super Neighborhoods were made a part of the City
of Houston Code of Ordinances.

ASN Mission Statement

The Mission of the ASN is to:

• Facilitate the collaborative action of our diverse community by promoting economic growth.
• Work directly to enrich our neighborhoods and institutional services.
• Advocate for services and capital improvements as a liaison with government
  entities and private sectors.

ASN Action Plan or "SNAP"

    Collectively, we discuss, prioritize, and vote upon issues submitted by our neighbors. With the assistance of a City of Houston
liaison, we then create an Action Plan that is submitted to the City of Houston annually.
This Plan is used:

• By the City to aid in developing the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and in allocating funding
• By the ASN to suggest improvements at the local level.
