The Galveston Alliance of Island Neighborhoods is comprised of 23 neighborhood associations. The Alliance is based on the principle that an economically strong, livable community begins with vital neighborhoods. It is an independent collaboration reflecting the Island's diversity of income, ethnicity, neighborhood architectural design and lifestyle. GAIN's objective is to work together to identify and address issues that affect all or several neighborhoods directly or indirectly and to work together with other civic groups, government officials, agencies, employers and local institutions to implement change.
All neighborhoods have equal value in the community.
Diversity of and within neighborhoods enriches the community as a whole. No neighborhood should benefit at the expense of another. Neighborhoods can and should support each other to become and remain successful. Neighborhoods can and should support each other in preserving their natural, architectural and social assets. Neighborhoods working together are more effective in achieving positive change than neighborhoods working independently.
