The Govalle Neighborhood Association is an open and inclusive group. Our mission is to give a voice to community members and to foster relations in our community. We are not a homeowners association. We don’t care what color you want to paint your house. We meet regularly and invite all neighbors to participate in meetings to discuss neighborhood issues and projects, such as The Pecan Grove Park, affordable housing, health and safety concerns, traffic, and volunteer opportunities.
