Agency Description
The Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood and Community Engagement (NCAC) is the City of Philadelphia’s neighborhood hub for connecting residents with government services. NCAC operates ten Neighborhood Community Action Centers (NCACs) as part of an initiative to create a government that people can see, touch, and feel.
At each Community Action Center, residents can bring any municipal issues—from abandoned cars, graffiti, illegal dumping, and potholes to sanitation, housing, and access to benefits. NCAC staff are committed to resolving these issues through a system of deadlines and follow-up, ensuring accountability and measurable action.
Beyond problem-solving, NCAC serves as a connector, linking communities to the full range of municipal resources, services, and opportunities. We collaborate across departments, agencies, and partner organizations to ensure residents receive timely and effective assistance.
To strengthen transparency and engagement, NCAC also hosts regular monthly public meetings in every council district. These gatherings bring the City government directly to the people, providing updates, listening to concerns, and building trust through open dialogue.
Through the Action Centers, NCAC is redefining what local government looks like—visible, accountable, and rooted in the community it serves.
