The Milwood Neighborhood Association (MNA) is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization dedicated to maintaining and improving Milwood quality of life through community-building and education.
MNA is NOT a Home Owner’s Association (HOA). HOAs require mandatory membership, charge dues in the hundreds of dollars a year, and have deed enforcement powers. MNA has a low, LOW dues price of 15 dollars a year and helps to coordinate neighborhood activities, keeps residents informed of relevant goings on, and liaisons with city staff and other neighborhood associations on pragmatic projects.
