The Beautification Council was established as a 501(c)3 in 2014 with a clear mission and passion to restore the quality of life and disrupt the cycles of blight and homelessness throughout the State of California, in communities adversely affected by illegal dumping, graffiti vandalism, and other blight.
Our innovative job readiness program hires only the unhoused and justice-impacted. Through our nine-step proprietary micro-cleaning process, we are radically impacting blight while at the same time empowering program participants to long-term employment, economic stability and housing.
The Beautification Council bolsters public health and safety because all residents deserve a safe and clean environment to play, live and work.
The Beautification Council is a subject matter expert on illegal dumping, graffiti vandalism, and homeless encampments and their nexus to criminal activity.
We disrupt the cycle of blight and homelessness through an innovative duplicable proven process collaborating with private-public partners and governmental agencies.
We created an Oakland policy of 50% local participation in city contracts to create job opportunities for underserved communities.
