The United Neighborhoods Capture Team was created by people who are passionate about the success of Johnstown. The team encourages and facilitates collaboration between active community improvement groups and resource groups to make Johnstown an even better area to live. United Neighborhoods has three focus areas: neighborhood development, youth engagement, and pride and heritage. The programs encompassing these focus areas will strengthen neighborhoods by increasing home values, creating friendlier neighborhoods, decreasing crime, and creating a higher standard of community pride, which will aid in forging community connections.
