Fair Haven is a Diverse Community with a Rich History and a Beautiful Waterfront
Welcome (Bienvenido, Benvenuto, Powitanie, Bonjour! Willkomme,歡迎, ברוךהבא أهلا وسهلا, Bonvenon) to Chatham Square online.
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:

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.

One of the marvelous things about community is that it enable us to welcome and help people in a way that we couldn't as individuals. When we pool our strengths and share the work and responsibility we can welcome many people ~ Jean Vanier
