Community Services covers the programs that maintain, improve and expand the shared resources available to communities and the neighborhood-focused service operations that communities depend on for their quality of life. These include garbage disposal, maintenance of parks and public housing developments, regulation of neighborhood retail businesses, operation of libraries and cultural facilities, street repair and sweeping, school-based community programs, enforcement activities aimed at preserving a healthy urban environment, and operation of public housing developments.

City agencies seek to enhance our communities by working to increase recycling; efficiently handle solid waste; expand access to green spaces and recreation facilities; enforce regulations concerning air, noise and hazardous materials; enhance access to public library resources; promote and support cultural institutions, events and programs; and provide access to public housing.
