Welcome:
We encourage you to complete this form with various members of the leadership of your organization to ensure a representative response.
This annual renewal and survey are tools for updating your contact information and assessing your strengths and challenges. The successful competition of this form will allow the Housing and Neighborhoods Division and the Neighborhood Commission to provide more effective support to your organization.
Important:
To maintain your Registered Neighborhood Organization (RNO) status with the City of Hampton, you are required to renew your registration and update your contact information annually with the Housing and Neighborhood Division.
