For over 90 years, WSWCA has worked to protect quality of life in Washington Square West by supporting cleaner streets, safer public spaces, historic preservation, local businesses, and strong community connections.

Whether you rent or own, are new to the neighborhood or have lived here for years, WSWCA is a place to stay informed, get involved, and have a voice in what happens where you live.
