Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council
The Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council covers Boyle Heights; nearly all of its area lies in the Boyle Heights community plan area. Anyone who lives, works or owns property in the area, or declares a stake in it as a community interest stakeholder, is a stakeholder (Plan for a Citywide System of Neighborhood Councils).
