How CMCBD Works For The Community

he Central Market Community Benefit District (CMCBD) provides core neighborhood services with its Community Guides and Clean Teams; it also promotes local businesses, encourages economic development and public improvements, as well co-coordinates numerous major events and advocates on behalf of its constituents with respect to a host of public policy, planning, and quality-of-life issues.

The CMCBD Corporation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization led by a staff and Board of Directors, all of whom are property owners or other neighborhood stakeholders from the district. The nonprofit administers CMCBD funds and manages the services provided on behalf of all the property owners and the district it serves.

When a Community Benefit District (CBD) is formed, the City of San Francisco guarantees in its contract with the CBD that the City will maintain its baseline level of cleaning, maintenance and public safety services within the District. Under no circumstance do CBD services reduce or replace City services within a Community Benefit District.
