FHG Stand Up is a grassroots coalition of Forest Hills Gardens residents united in the belief that our neighborhood deserves transparency, accountability, and inclusive governance. We were formed in response to growing concerns over how the current Forest Hills Gardens Corporation (FHGC) Board has operated—particularly regarding its handling of the Forest Hills Stadium situation, which has been marked by secrecy, divisiveness, and a lack of community input. Our mission is to create a more open and representative future for our neighborhood by ensuring that every voice is heard and respected.

Our group came together because too many residents felt shut out of the decisions that impact our homes, our quality of life, and our neighborhood’s reputation. We watched as the FHGC Board made costly and polarizing decisions, spending resident funds on litigation without transparency, engaging in reckless litigation tactics which has resulted in the FHGC finding itself in a far worse position than when the litigation started, and disregarding broader community consensus. This is not what stewardship looks like. FHG Stand Up was created to restore trust, advocate for responsible governance, and give residents a true seat at the table.

We are your neighbors—homeowners, renters, families, seniors, and newcomers—who share a common goal: to ensure that Forest Hills Gardens is governed fairly, respectfully, and with full transparency. Our coalition is growing as more residents recognize the urgent need for change and step up to be part of a new, community-centered vision.

No. We are entirely independent and were formed in direct response to the Board’s lack of transparency and responsiveness. While we remain committed to respectful dialogue, we are equally committed to standing up for what is right and holding those in power accountable when they fail to serve the community. description

We are calling for meaningful reform and a new direction. Our core goals include:

Transparency in all decision-making processes and financial expenditures

Accountability from leadership on how our dues are being used and how major decisions are reached

Inclusive representation that reflects the diversity of our community, not just a narrow group of voices

We believe in governance that listens, collaborates, and acts in the best interest of all residents.
