TSNA Adopt A Block Program
Adopt a Block. Make a Difference Where You Live.
The Adopt-a-Block Initiative is a simple way for neighbors to take pride in their immediate surroundings and make a visible impact in Thomas Square.
Choose a block. Gather a few neighbors. Start making it better—together.
How It Works
Each block on the map can be adopted by a small group of neighbors, led by a Block Representative who serves as the main point of contact.
Once adopted, your group will:
-
Take pride in your block
-
Identify opportunities for improvement
-
Coordinate simple, impactful efforts throughout the year
This isn’t about perfection, it’s about consistent, neighbor-led care.
What Can You Do on Your Block?
Every block is different, and so is every group. Here are just a few ideas of ways neighbors can get involved:
-
Organize litter clean-ups in your adopted block area
-
Improve and maintain tree lawns and green spaces
-
Identify and report infrastructure or safety concerns
-
Create a simple "block watch" presence to identify public safety concerns
-
Organize casual gatherings or meetups with block neighbors
-
Welcome new neighbors and build connections
Small actions, done consistently, make a big difference.

Identify a Block Representative
This is a low-lift, flexible role—you’re simply helping coordinate, not doing everything yourself.
As a Block Representative, you’ll:
-
Serve as the main contact for your block
-
Help organize occasional efforts (no heavy lift required)
-
Coordinate with TSNA as support or resources are needed
You won’t be doing this alone, we’re here to support you.
