Agency Details:

Husky Neighborhoods aims to improve the quality of life of the North of 45th neighborhood in Seattle's University District, by foster and supporting collaborative relationships between the UW, permanent residents, and students living off-campus.

Description:
The Husky Neighborhood Assistants program is a group of eight students and staff members at the UW aiming to improve community relations and living standards in the area north of NE 45th Street. We work towards the following: increasing communication between the university, students living off-campus, and permanent residents, educating students and residents about staying safes and being a better neighbor, advocating for housing inspections and landlord/tenant rights education, and generally improving the quality of life in the North of 45th neighborhood!

History:
The Husky Neighborhood Assistants program was founded in 2007 as an off-shoot of the Community Standards and Student Conduct at the University of Washington. Currently in its second year, the program has brought on six undergraduate students who work on various quality of life projects, and looks forward to the achievements of the coming year!
