Clean and Safe Program

Downtown El Cajon Business Partners

The Downtown El Cajon Business Partners has a very successful relationship with the East County Transitional Living Center. They are contracted to administer our Clean and Safe Program. For instance, from Monday through Friday, you will see the workers in their yellow vests picking up trash, reporting graffiti, and moving along any homeless they encounter. In addition to those and other responsibilities, they are out with their power washing during non-drought warning days. They began work in 2012, and there has been a remarkable difference in the appearance of Downtown El Cajon since that time.

It is our goal to make El Cajon a clean, inviting city where people feel welcome to come to the downtown area to do their shopping, conduct business, grab a cup of coffee or enjoy one of our great restaurants. Above all, we support our local businesses.
