PROVIDING HELP TO A SECTION OF CLEVELAND THAT NEEDS IT THE MOST

COMMUNITY SERVICE | PAY FINE

RECREATION | RELAXATION | HELPING OTHERS

Often after a person experiences hardship, they are sentenced to incarceration time, community service, or paying fines. This site aims to provide people with the opportunity to pay their debts on site, in a productive manner, instead of committing other crimes to pay debt.

The space is designed to prevent people who are trying to make a change from moving back into their old neighborhoods and falling back into the same cycle of crime. They must be enrolled in the improvement program and abstain from drug use and crime.

Creating interactive spaces that people can access for reflection, relaxation, and interaction with other diverse group of people is crucial to creating a collaborative space of improvement and community driven success. People want to succeed they don't want to struggle.

PROGRAM INCLUDES: Community housing, Work to pay , or low income housing

PROGRAM INCLUDES: Park spaces, reflection overlooks, community centers, any previous program in this process

The space for this site includes, but is not limited to the justice center. The process can apply to anyone who has been incarcerated, suffers from drug abuse, or does not have a job and seeks to improve their life.

The space for the improvement section is dedicated to giving people the proper training and resources necessary to get where they want to go in life. Where many jobs will not hire, these spaces specialize in creating opportunity for people in need.

Working with businesses in the local community to place people in long- term employment is a major goal of this program. Allowing these people to attain a job, have skills, and no longer participate in crime is the end goal. The connections needed will be provided in this program.
