Broadmoor Improvement Association The Broadmoor Improvement Association (BIA) is one of the oldest neighborhood associations in New Orleans. Established in 1930 as the Broadmoor Civic Improvement Association to address the needs of the developing Broadmoor neighborhood, it was incorporated in 1970 as the Broadmoor Improvement Association, Inc. to stop "blockbusting" in Broadmoor, a well-established, multi-racial/multi-ethnic community already living in harmony. Since Katrina, the Broadmoor Improvement Association has become known as a "grassroots powerhouse". Broadmoor has built partnerships and was recognized at the 2006 Clinton Global Initiative. The BIA is here to address the needs of the residents by engaging the community and building consensus amoung residents as to their vision for a revitalized neighborhood that is "Better than Before".

In 1971 the Coliseum Square Association was organized by a group of new Lower Garden District residents who accepted the challenge of protecting the area's architectural integrity. They successfully fought construction of a second bridge access in the neighborhood, had the Lower Garden District placed on the National Register of Historic Places, and supported a bond issue for the renovation of Coliseum Square Park and its finger parks. Since 1971, the Coliseum Square Association has held annual home tours with neighborhood residents as guides.
