We are here to serve your needs and to zealously protect the quality of life in Brentwood and for our homeowners. Our city is growing and the demands on Brentwood are changing. Accordingly, we at the BHA recognize we must change as well. Over the past few years, we have evolved from an organization focused primarily on land use and zoning issues into one much more focused on matters impacting the general quality of life of our homeowners. This year, this evolution continues. Our focus for the remainder of the year is simple and clear:

1. Begin the long process of improving traffic on Sunset and in our neighborhoods.

2. Protect our quality of life in Brentwood by working with you and the police to combat crime, environmental pollution, and other activities which negatively impact the fabric of Brentwood.

3. Continue to track and combat variances in zoning and unreasonable development which risk impairing the aesthetics of our surroundings.

4. Continue to assist you with any specific homeowner issues, whether they are with neighbors, an institution or the city.

5. Finally, to develop a proactive coalition that bolsters our membership base and automates our communications processes (we need your email addresses!) so that we may all work together to improve our community.

We trust that by focusing on these key issues, we can make the most impact on your behalf in the coming year.
