Neighborhood Councils are a newly created citywide system of local, elected bodies that were officially established when the people of Los Angeles voted to adopt the new city charter in 1999. According to the charter, Neighborhood Councils are advisory bodies to the Los Angeles City Council.

They act as a liaison between the average person and city government, promote public participation in government, make city government more responsive to local needs, and facilitate the delivery of services to the citizens of Los Angeles. Building on the idea that there is strength in numbers, Neighborhood Councils provide a structured way for city officials to assess the public response to proposals.

Los Angeles' 3.5 million residents live in geographically, economically, socially, and racially disparate neighborhoods. With such a large, diverse and far-flung group, Neighborhood Councils alleviate some of the problems that the city has faced in recent decades, especially the feeling that, "City Hall doesn't care about me."
