Right Intention, Right Effort

The Micro Neighborhood Alliance (MNA) empowers Provincetown’s micro-neighborhoods to build coastal resilience through education, collaboration, and transparent communication.

With nearly half of Provincetown’s historic district in flood-prone areas, we understand that “the water doesn’t know your address” That’s why we focus on fostering collective action and adaptive solutions that respect the town’s unique history and community fabric.


Why This Matters

Provincetown faces increasing challenges from rising sea levels, intensified storms, and evolving regulations. MNA bridges gaps in technical and regulatory knowledge by translating complex details into clear, actionable insights. This approach empowers property owners to collaborate effectively, align their efforts, and make informed decisions that benefit the entire town.

While our work begins here in Provincetown, the challenges of coastal resilience are shared globally. By addressing these issues at the micro-neighborhood level, we aim to create a model that can inspire and guide efforts elsewhere.

What We Do

The Micro Neighborhood Alliance empowers property owners and micro-neighborhoods by:

Turning Complexity into Clarity: Translating technical and regulatory information into actionable insights.

Facilitating Community Connections: Building bridges between neighbors and local government to align efforts with broader resilience goals.

Equipping for Resilience: Providing the tools and knowledge needed to adapt to challenges while preserving Provincetown’s unique character.
