<p>Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott on Thursday released recommendations from the <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://aamebaltimore.com/squeegee-collaborative" _mce_href="https://aamebaltimore.com/squeegee-collaborative" target="_blank">Squeegee Collaborative</a> to address the practice.</p>
<p>The mayor said the working action plan addresses squeegee work in Baltimore. He said the plan will not immediately stop squeegee work but will do more than has ever been done and involves the public and private sectors.</p>
<p>Scott said previous attempts at resolving the issue failed because they lacked the sustained investment and dedicated problem solvers to break the cycle that he said this plan has.</p>
<p>The mayor said squeegeeing has been a viable source of income and that, under the plan, the city will provide resources.</p>
<p class="body-text">Faith Leach, Baltimore's deputy mayor of the equity, health and human services, said the 18 recommendations are based on three key areas: Support services, accountability and data measurement and governance.</p>
<p>Leach said squeegee workers will be required to stop squeegeeing to receive an income and participate in training and/or education.</p>
