2023 CLEAN TEAM GRANTS
The Department of Small and Local Business Development (DSLBD) is soliciting applications from eligible applicants to manage a DC Clean Team Program in seven service areas listed below (“Service Areas”) throughout the District.

- Improve commercial district appearance in each Service Area to help increase foot traffic and, consequently, the opportunity for increased customer sales for businesses.
- Provide jobs and necessary job training for DC residents in each Service Area.
- Reduce litter, graffiti, and posters, which contribute to the perception of an unsafe commercial district.
- Maintain a healthy tree canopy, including landscaping, along the commercial corridor.
- Support Sustainable DC goals by recycling, mulching street trees, using eco-friendly supplies, and reducing stormwater pollution generated by DC’s commercial districts.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations incorporated in the District and local businesses certified by DSLBD as a Certified Business Enterprise (“CBE”). All applicants must be current on all DC business licenses, permits, and taxes, if applicable.
