Downtown Cleveland Alliance
Cleveland, OhioDowntown Cleveland, Inc. is focused on maintaining an environment of wellbeing for everyone in the Downtown Cleveland area including residents, visitors, employees, and disadvantaged individuals. We accomplish this mission through our team of dedicated clean and safe ambassadors. Ambassadors can be spotted in bright blue and yellow uniforms walking and biking throughout downtown enhancing the pedestrian experience through a variety of services.
We deploy ambassadors for over 110,000 hours annually to ensure the pedestrian experience in the city’s core is clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone.
Our Clean and Safe Team is constantly improving the Downtown area by disposing of litter, sanitizing public touch points, removing graffiti, providing safety escorts, offering motor vehicle assistance, increasing uniformed visibility, and ensuring the welfare of the unsheltered population. While we believe there is no single fix for the complex issues surrounding homelessness and mental health, our goal is to address the problem in a comprehensive manner through various initiatives.
