Kenton Neighborhood Association

Located in North Portland, the Kenton neighborhood is rich in history, heritage, and diversity. We work to improve the livability and character of the neighborhood and support civic engagement of Kenton residents.

Historic Kenton Firehouse

The Kenton Neighborhood Association (KNA) works in collaboration with neighbors and community partners to foster a clean, healthy, safe, livable, and resilient neighborhood for all.

We advance this mission through collective action and by connecting people, sharing information, supporting civic participation, and developing solutions that strengthen our community.
