Did you know that Brighton Main Streets sponsors a neighborhood beautification program in partnership with Project Place Clean Corners? Through the Clean Corners crew, our commercial district receives regular care and attention every Monday and Thursday, helping keep sidewalks, planters, and public spaces clean and welcoming.
The program began in July 2025 and is expected to continue through 2027, thanks to grants from the Boston Main Streets Foundation. Brighton Main Streets will continue seeking additional grant funding to help sustain this important neighborhood initiative.
How Project Place Clean Corners Benefits Brighton.
Project Place is a Boston-based nonprofit organization that has been opening doors to opportunity since 1967. Its mission is to help individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty find employment, housing, and pathways toward greater independence.
Through its Clean Corners…Bright Hopes social enterprise, Project Place employs crew members to pick up litter, maintain planters, and care for sidewalks and public spaces. At the same time, participants gain valuable work experience and develop skills that can lead to careers in custodial services, facilities management, waste management, and landscaping.
A Cleaner Neighborhood. A Brighter Future.
The partnership between Brighton Main Streets and Project Place does more than improve the appearance of our commercial district. It supports meaningful employment opportunities, builds job skills, and helps create a cleaner, more welcoming community for everyone who lives, works, shops, and visits Brighton.
It’s a program that makes a difference on our streets while changing lives along the way!
