{"value"=>"<p>Launched in 1937, the Harlem Neighborhoods Association (HANA) served as a clearinghouse for various social agencies and community organizations operating in Harlem until 1978. Originally the West Harlem Council of Social Agencies, it reorganized and changed its name to the Harlem Neighborhoods Association in 1959. During its first year of existence it attracted more than 150 individual members and some twenty-four agencies. For the next fifteen years, they organized public campaigns in Harlem around issues such as drug prevention and rehabilitation, housing renovation, school desegregation and decentralization, community control, day care facilities for children, better hospitals, and youth services. HANA was one of the initial sponsors of \"Harlem Youth Day\" and was instrumental in setting up a mental health clinic at Harlem Hospital. Due to funding difficulties, the organization disbanded after 1976.</p>"}
