The 99 Community

Where the neighborhood does its thinking

Neighbors in a community garden

Groups, workshops, tours, think tanks, and a message board where projects find hands and businesses find footing. Rather than do-it-yourself: do it together.

Groups

Any group can form. Every group gets a store.

A group can be friends, a block, a business and its regulars, or several groups combined. Every group gets a page, a chat, a shared calendar and its own co-op store — and the group leader decides who joins.

Development message board

Projects find hands here

The interactive board for Help Me Do requests, business development, funding requests, hire recommendations, and community planning. Post to one group or every group you belong to.

Help Me Do

Post a project with photos or video — get advice, volunteers, or quotes from certified members before you start. Solved requests are archived with their solutions.

Hire recommendations & funding

Groups vouch for workers and businesses they've actually used — a recommendation carries the group's reputation. Community projects raise from the people they serve, and backers see the ledger before they pledge.

Community planning & think tanks

Cleanups, block parties and build days land on every participating group's calendar and the map. Think tanks work a specific problem and publish what they learn.

This month on the block

Highlights, not rankings

No leaderboard, no losers — just the neighbors and groups that made the month.

Community days

Plan it once — it lands on every calendar

Cleanups, block parties and build days. Pick the participating groups and the event appears on each group's shared calendar, plus the planning board.

In our zone, count back 6–8 weeks from the last frost — start seeds indoors in late March, pot up once, and harden them off over a week before transplanting. Marisol's Greenhouse runs a seed-starting workshop every spring; it's on the map.
