The resolution commemorates the 30th anniversary of Neighbors' Consejo, an organization founded in 1994 in Washington, D.C. by local residents concerned about homelessness and addiction in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood. Officially incorporated in 1995, Neighbors' Consejo has focused on delivering free mental health and community support services, particularly to the Latino community, which includes many Central American migrants facing trauma and mental health issues. Over the years, the organization has expanded its services, acquiring properties for community shelters and reorganizing to better serve diverse populations, including African American and Latino neighbors.

The Council of the District of Columbia recognizes Neighbors' Consejo for its significant contributions to the community, particularly in providing culturally and linguistically appropriate support to vulnerable individuals. The resolution highlights the organization's achievements, including the 2023 Award for Advancing Minority Health from the American Psychiatric Association Foundation, and reaffirms its vision of fostering a community of happy, healthy, and self-sufficient individuals. The resolution takes effect immediately upon passage.
