Founded in 1979, the Naperville Area Homeowners Confederation believes in connecting people to what matters most - each other, neighbor to neighbor.

The Confederation serves our community by providing the means to foster communication between member associations, homeowners, and government officials. Through this communication, networking, and neighbors- helping-neighbors, the Confederation is the vehicle through which we, as homeowners and residents, can stay abreast of community's affairs and generate a positive influence on our area’s future.

Who We Are:

A knowledge resource, covering topics of interest to our members and their neighborhoods. We seek out and share information on issues and developments, events, association governance, and property management and maintenance.

An advocate for homeowners; voicing community concerns through Public Position statements, advisory groups, and liaison committees.

A stage where speakers address what is important to our member associations and Naperville area residents.

A conduit bringing government to the people. Our meetings create dialogue opportunities with community leaders.

A facilitator of educational, non-partisan forums on issues, referenda and candidates.

What We Do:

“As elected officials, we have to understand and respond to the needs of our constituents. The NAHC is a vital link between the City Council and the community, both in providing residents with important City information as well as allowing us to hear what is on residents’ minds. By working together, we make Naperville the best place to both live and do business.”
Steve Chirico, Mayor, City of Naperville

Ray McGury, Executive Director, Naperville Park District

"The Naperville Area Homeowners Confederation brings people together to be heard and to listen. It is a dynamic buffer between assumptions and possibilities allowing information to be considered and relationships to flourish. It is a place where trust is built, where leaders develop and friendships are formed. Any community worth living in is worth doing something for. Join your homeowner’s association. Come to an NAHC meeting. Get involved. You make a difference!"."
MaryLou Wehrli, Commissioner, DuPage Forest Preserve District

The residential population is our largest customer and the NAHC serves as a link to a vast majority of our citizens which has proven very effective in promoting messages related to safety and health throughout Naperville"
Chief Mark J. Puknaitis, Naperville Fire Department

"The NAHC is a valuable partnership between City staff and residents. Through the confederation’s proactive efforts, city staff is kept apprised of important concerns and can connect us with residents to better share our work and City information.
