ABOUT MAP
The Monrovia Area Partnership (MAP) is a comprehensive approach to combating blight and crime while empowering neighborhoods by fostering citizen activism, volunteerism and community pride. The partnership accomplishes this through a comprehensive application of services ranging from home improvement grants and public infrastructure upgrades to chain-link-fence replacement assistance, recreation and literacy programs, and youth employment services.
MAP has become more than a program. It is an innovative philosophy that transcends departmental barriers and coordinates public/private resources to provide services with widespread community support. It has become an effective tool for identifying, understanding and addressing community needs. Issues such as graffiti; gang violence; unsightly properties; recreation services; street lighting; at-risk youth; blight; street racing; environmental hazards; parenting skills; emergency preparation; senior citizen issues and much more.
