Working for a better Neighborhood!
The Lex Ham Community Council has numerous projects improving our neighborhood. If you
have any questions about these projects or any others, please contact
Sarah at staff@lexham.org.
Block Leader Network
A network of neighbors from all corners of the neighborhood
serving as a conduit between their neighbors, Council staff and
Board and numerous City resources.
The Lex-Ham neighborhood has a total of 31 residential blocks and currently 24 blocks are represented.
This means we are MISSING 7 block leaders.
Please see below for a list of the blocks that need leaders.

Got Voice? Got Power!
Neighbors working together to mobilize the power
of Ward One residents to SPEAK UP for what they care about and to
VOTE so that officials pay attention! We educate Ward One residents
about the political process, get them talking about issues, register
them to vote and get them to the polls.

Corporation, District 7 Planning Council, Summit-University Planning
Council-District 8, the Lexington-Hamline Community Council, the
