The Neighborhood Council system was established in 1999 as a way of ensuring that the city government remains responsive to the different needs and lifestyles of Los Angeles’ rich variety of communities. Neighborhood Councils are advisory bodies with annual budgets funded by taxpayer dollars. Board members are city officials who are elected/appointed by those who live, work, or own property or a business in the community that a Council represents. They donate their time and service as volunteers. Currently, there are 99 Neighborhood Councils in Los Angeles, each serving about 40,000 people. The Empowerment Congress West Neighborhood Development Council (ECWA) grew out of the “Campaign for a New Eighth District” initiated by former Councilmember Mark Ridley-Thomas on January 23, 1992. ECWA was certified by the city of Los Angeles on March 23, 2002.
