IMPROVING COUNCIL DISTRICT 1 NEIGHBORHOODS
Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez launched an unprecedented initiative, investing over $2.4 million to deploy ten dedicated Clean Teams across Council District 1. Nine of these contracted teams operate five days a week, with an additional team working two days a week alongside LA Sanitation to enhance localized services, proving that local government can and will show up for our neighborhoods.
DEDICATED NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES
Clean Teams are deployed directly across District 1 to provide vital maintenance and keep our public spaces safe, clean, and accessible.
Services:
- Community Cleanup Assistance
- Graffiti Removal
- Illegal Dumping Removal
- Litter Removal
- Power Washing

EMPOWERING PEOPLE
Clean Teams are made up of incredibly hardworking individuals, including local youth and justice-impacted Angelenos returning home. To make this possible, we partner with a coalition of dedicated service providers:

As the largest Central American organization in the country, CARECEN empowers immigrants through legal services, civic engagement, and a Day Labor Center that connects hardworking people with reliable job opportunities.

REVITALIZING MACARTHUR PARK
Public safety is deeply tied to the environment people live in every day. To revitalize the physical conditions around MacArthur Park, our Clean Teams provide sustained, coordinated cleanups throughout the week.
