About the SFNA
The Sherwood Forest Neighborhood Association (SFNA) is “a group of homeowners, renters, apartment dwellers and representatives from businesses, churches and schools who organize to improve conditions in the neighborhood. Each member is allowed to express an opinion and is eligible to vote on all neighborhood issues.”
The SFNA helps to “rehabilitate housing stock, affect development plans and help ensure safety on Irving streets” by planning projects and activities that are beneficial to the area and provide a forum for discussion of local and citywide issues. A partnership can be established with the city to help maintain neighborhood standards through code enforcement and police protection. Through neighborhood associations, residents can stay informed on city policies and procedures and can provide input on issues.”
