Beacon Hill Civic Association Mission Statement
The Beacon Hill Civic Association (BHCA) was established in 1922 by a small, but concerned group of neighbors whose goal was to protect Beacon Hill’s historic residential character. Today, the BHCA continues as a volunteer organization that helps preserve and enhance the quality of life on Beacon Hill, a historic, urban, residential neighborhood in downtown Boston. As an organization, the BHCA acts as an advocate for Beacon Hill residents and facilitates the flow of information on a timely basis.
The BHCA maintains its focus on the founders’ original concerns - zoning, licensing, traffic, parking, and neighborhood cleanliness. Monitoring citywide developments that impact the neighborhood and planning community-building events, both social and informational, are among the organization’s major activities.

Beacon Hill Civic Association Statement on Racial Justice
The Beacon Hill Civic Association joins in the call for equality and racial justice in our society. Ending systemic racism falls to all of us, and the Beacon Hill Civic Association commits to using its platform, privilege, and resources to help build a community of inclusiveness, diversity, fairness, and respect within our neighborhood and throughout the City of Boston.
