Be a part of your community.

When we put work into our community it promotes a sense of connection and pride for the place we call home.

Meetings: First Tuesday of each month.

For the first time in Salem, Oregon two Neighborhood Associations have merged. South Salem Neighborhood Association and Croisan-Illahe is now SouthWest Association of Neighbors (SWAN). The two groups had simular issues and concerns and shared a lot of the same roads, parks, and waterways. Due to these factors we decided to team up. We invute you to be a part of this Salem first and help to improve and guide the developement and future of your Neighborhood. Although SWAN is a recognized association and supported by the City of Salem we are self-directed and plan our own actions in our neighborhood.
