Midtown Houston’s Clean & Safe Ambassador Pilot Program provides additional on-the-ground support in the Mid Main area to help create a cleaner, safer, more welcoming and connected experience.
The six-month pilot brings together Quality of Life Ambassadors and Clean Ambassadors, with each team serving a distinct role in the neighborhood. In partnership with Block by Block and Career and Recovery Resources, the program supports day-to-day safety and quality-of-life needs, public space care, and stronger connections to community resources.
Through Career and Recovery Resources’ UpRise Enterprise program, the Clean Ambassador component also creates workforce development and employment opportunities for individuals experiencing homelessness.
