We are an all-volunteer group of Fair Haven residents, businesses, and nonprofits working to nurture community and pride in our neighborhood. We are a diverse community, with historic homes and a beautiful waterfront where everyone is welcome.
We organize monthly community gatherings--on alternating months, either a Community Dining Out Night at a local restaurant or a Community Soup Night at a resident's home or a nonprofit. These events aim to build community in our neighborhood, support local businesses, and raise awareness about local nonprofits. In the process of building community, we learn about and address local concerns. CSNA also offers neighborhood tours focusing on: art, culture, environmental justice, history, local food and more. Tours are arranged upon request.
We raise funds to:
- support neighborhood activities that build or sustain community,
- improve the image of the neighborhood and/or to
- facilitate social gatherings.
To learn more about community activities join this website. If you live in the area come to an event and get to know your neighbors.
Contributions to CSNA are welcome but not required. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. If you would like to make a donation, please see the instructions below.

We respectfully acknowledge that this land was once the homeland of the Algonquin speaking people known as the Quinnipiac. We also acknowledge the Africans who were taken from their homelands and forced to work here and throughout this country creating wealth for others. May we not forget the uncompensated contributions of the Quinnipiac and African people.
