Programs

Adopt-a-Block: In collaboration with the WSU Center for Civic Engagement, the Adopt-a-Block program awards community service hours to members of student organizations who “adopt” a defined portion of the neighborhood and provide litter removal and other services as needed. This map shows the neighborhood adoption areas. Updated lists of participating organizations are posted on our Facebook page.

Historic Property Nomination Assistance: To encourage the long-term preservation of historic neighborhood properties, CHA provides assistance to College Hill property owners wishing to nominate their property to the Pullman Register of Historic Places. Properties must be at least 50 years old and architecturally intact. For more information, contact CHA.

Street Tree Replacement Assistance: In collaboration with the City of Pullman Parks Department, CHA provides street trees at no cost to the property owner.
