About Mount Vernon Triangle CID
Since 2004, the Mount Vernon Triangle Community Improvement District (MVT CID) has redefined what it means to live in the centrally located East End of Washington, DC. Our team is constantly working to ensure that your experience in our neighborhood is the best and most memorable that it can possibly be. We do so by providing clean and safe services, organizing community events, promoting economic development opportunities, and mobilizing public support toward a common vision for community needs (such as safe and reliable transportation and mobility options and additional greenspace), and serving as a trusted liaison with local, federal, and non-profit partners to address neighborhood challenges when they arise.
What We Do
As your Community Improvement District, we strive to create long-lasting partnerships between neighbors and foster enduring connections within our community. Because #MVTogether.

You may not know that our MVT CID Clean Team Ambassadors come to us from Central Union Mission’s “Ready to Work” job training program, which has helped to stabilize and transform the lives of many of our formerly homeless neighbors. Our friends at Central Union Mission have a new program called “Ready2Recycle” and would welcome donations from the community. Better yet, they will be happy to pick up donations directly from you! Ready2Recycle is a new service opportunity that benefits you or your group or club as well as Central Union Mission residents. The Ready2Recycle work development program employs graduates from the organization’s spiritual transformation program to pick up, sort and manage donations, which are distributed at their Food PLUS Center or used to help provide products and services for the vulnerable people they serve. Needs include small appliances and household items, exercise and outdoor equipment, home textiles, kids’ toys and stuffed animals, kitchen goods, books, magazines and other media and clothing. For more on how to support all of the important Central Union Mission programs and donate to Ready2Recycle, click here.
