Over the years, we have produced impactful programming throughout Overtown and surrounding communities, creating free workshops, exhibitions, wellness activations, mentorship opportunities, and youth -centered creative experiences for families who often lack access to these resources. Our organization has collaborated and aligned with respected cultural institutions and initiatives connected to the DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center, HBCU-focused college exploration initiatives through Grambling State University , Howard University , and cultural arts programming supported through the Jean -Michel Basquiat Foundation, helping us expand opportunities for young creatives while preserving and celebrating Black art and culture. As our current lease connected to programming at the Center for Black Innovation comes to an end, a new opportunity has opened through the Project Peach Building, where the second floor has been allocated for Youth Concept Gallery to create a cultural and community hub for Overtown. Attachment: 19569 Backup (19569 : 4/5ths Bid Waiver -Youth Concept Gallery) Packet Pg. 34 1.2.b This new location is envisioned as the "Soho House of Overtown" a fresh, innovative creative destination blending culture, coffee, art, technology, and community.

While we are fully committed to building and sustaining this project long term, we are seeking support to help stabilize the early stages of the transition due to limited funding and startup costs associated with occupying and activating the new space.

The Enhanced Policing Program provides increased police visibility, specialized operations, traffic enforcement, criminal sweeps, and other community policing strategies designed to deter crime and improve safety in the area.
