Increasing safety and security for residents of the street. Increasing beautification initiatives including gardening efforts and litter clean-up. Improving public infrastructure such as sidewalks and trees. Supporting and encouraging property owners to maintain, restore and improve their properties. Transforming vacant and non-owner occupied structures into owner-occupied homes. Chris Brown, President of KCA Kleinhans Community Association c/o 34 Orton Place Buffalo, NY 14201 (716) 884-1914
