South Burlingame is proudly a member of the District 4 Coalition
We are 32 Portland neighborhoods working toward a livable and sustainable future.
District Four Coalition (D4C) is the DCO representing 32 Neighborhood Associations located in NW, SW, and SE Portland. The geographic area of our coalition area encompasses one of the most varied sections of Portland, Oregon where heavy industry, commerce and a variety of residential communities co-exist with large, pristine natural areas and riparian habitats.
D4C provides a number of different services and programs to neighborhoods and residents within our boundaries. These services range from administrative and communications support to technical assistance, grants, and financial support or fiscal sponsorship of our constituent neighborhoods and aligned community organizations.
D4C also offers a key channel for the city and elected officials to quickly disseminate information to a wide range of neighbors. This all leads to greater livability and harmony in our thriving urban center.
