The Downtown Merced Clean & Safe services are provided by Restore Merced, a local non-profit. Restore Merced provides pathways to better work, healthy community, coaching, and spiritual formation to individuals with barriers to employment.
Over a year ago, the Downtown Merced District voted to approve the formation of a Property Based Improvement District (PBID). This resulted in the formation of a non-profit organization to operate the District as overseen by a Board of Directors. The non-profit is now known as the Downtown Merced Property Owners Association (DMPOA)
