South Austin Neighborhood Association
Who We Are
Welcome to the New South Austin Neighborhood Association
The South Austin Neighborhood Association, or SANA is a community organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of the people, businesses, and friends of the South Austin neighborhood in Chicago. Spanning from approximately Chicago Avenue to Roosevelt Road, between Laramie and Austin Boulevard, "South Austin" is a community with a rich history and endless potential. SANA will work to maximize that potential while honoring our neighborhood's history by working with YOU, the people of South Austin, on three issues:
Community Engagement, Economic Development, and Beautification.

Now, we are focused more than ever on You! We will work toward what we as a community want to achieve for our neighborhood by communicating with our neighbors, local businesses, and friends and taking those concerns to the heart of our local government and the decision makers to achieve a positive change.
