We partner with Block by Block, is commitment to building a stronger, more vibrant community, one block at a time. Through grassroots efforts, neighborhood events, and collaborative projects, we aim to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where residents, business owners, and visitors alike can thrive.

These dedicated men and women work diligently every day sweeping, emptying trash, and ​washing down sidewalks. Often the first to notice local problems like graffiti, illegal dumping, and ​maintenance deficiencies,​ their ​concern​ for the community is invaluable.

The Historic Downtown Farmers Market was developed and launched in 2012 by the HCBID as Downtown’s first weekend farmers market. It ensures locals have easy, affordable access to healthy food while creating a public space for the community to gather on Sunday mornings. Our market is the only one to offer EBT, and we also host a Market Match program for qualified recipients, which has broken records for engagement.

We provide beautification services with public parklets, planters, decorations, and other street amenities. We host community-based forums whereby the residents and small businesses educate themselves on citywide programs, initiatives, laws, and concerns, and ultimately, have a voice in local issues which affect them. We host neighborhood watch walks with local law enforcement. This year (2016) we opened Downtown’s first ground floor visitor’s center. Ultimately, our vendors and service personnel strive each and every day to serve as outreach for those in need, and ambassadors to a beautifully diverse and rapidly growing district.

Patrol Solutions supplies the Historic Core with a conscientious team of officers trained to patrol by bike, foot beat, and segway. They serve the community 24 hours a day every day by often being first responders and liaisons between the community and other city agencies. We also have personnel dedicated to outreach purposes to local unsheltered people. Considering the number of service providers just blocks from our district, it makes sense to coordinate with non-profit experts in the field.

Our 24-hour hotline is 213-239-8336.
