UCAN: Uplands Claremont Area Neighbors
HELLO NEIGHBOR
What Is UCAN?
We are neighbors who came together out of mutual desire for a greater sense of community and deeper neighborhood connection, and to preserve and enhance the safety and well-being of this wonderful slice of Berkeley and Oakland that we call home.
We've formed a new neighborhood organization called UCAN (Uplands Claremont Area Neighbors), to improve our communications and emergency preparedness, host neighborhood gatherings and make our streets and homes more secure.

UCAN is a voluntary membership, dues-based, non-profit organization focused on the common interests of the 540 or so households within our area of the historic Claremont Tract.
