Join us in imagining
what could be.
We envision an increasingly vibrant and prosperous Forest Hills.
The mission of Forest Hills Community Alliance (FHCA) is to create opportunities for community development initiatives that realize the interests of those who live, work, and invest in Forest Hills.
FHCA’s purpose is to introduce programs and resources that benefit businesses and residents, including the citizenry in surrounding areas. We aim to work inclusively and in harmony with all stakeholders in the community, towards the greater good of our neighborhoods and the environment.
Community Engagement. We amplify all voices in our community, towards demonstrating that change is possible.
Funding. We secure and apply funds, such as public and foundation grants, towards improvements that would otherwise be inaccessible for the community’s benefit.
Partnerships. We partner with Borough Council, neighboring communities, and other collaborators, to bring complementary programs and assets to life.
