CLEAN TEAM
Our Positive Workforce Clean Team hits the streets seven days a week, and you can see the results whenever you see a yellow trashbag! We update the bag count here (239 for the week ending November 16, which makes 10,389 our 2024 total so far).
bid formation
A new Business Improvement District (BID) would be the first for East Harlem, currently the only community district in Manhattan without one. If you own a property, run a business or organization, or reside within the proposed BID district, join us for one of two public meetings where you can learn more about BIDs and the cleanliness, beautification and public safety they provide.
BUSINESS resources
Our running list of grants, loans, pro bono support and policy changes available during COVID-19, and where to get masks and find the vaccine. Plus a list of partner organizations across Harlem that also offer small business support.
