The Beautification Council was established as a 501(c)3, by Ken Houston, 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 and graffiti vandalism.


Through our innovative job readiness program, only hiring the unhoused and justice impacted, along with our 9-step proprietary micro cleaning process we are radically impacting blight and empowering program participants to long-term employment, economic stability, and housing. The Beautification Council bolsters public health and public safety because all citizens/residents deserve a safe and clean environment to play, live, and work!
