KC Town Hall LLC

A $490,539 public funding award, field implementation, and responsible transition

Secured a $490,539 public funding award by co-developing KC Town Hall's successful CCED proposal and serving as the City's named developer/presenter for the exact request, then transitioned the project to a mission-aligned organization.

What was emerging
A long-vacant historic building involved public benefit, preservation, funding, stakeholder, and redevelopment questions that needed durable documentation.
What became usable
A successful $490,539 public funding request, planning materials, public-benefit documentation, stakeholder context, a multi-year municipal compliance record, and a mission-aligned transition.

NYC Artist Coalition / FairRentNYC

Cultural-space advocacy, coalition memory, and Commercial Rent Stabilization

As a founding member and organizer of NYC Artist Coalition, implemented and maintained campaign websites and helped build coalition memory, source maps, and coordination infrastructure for cultural-space advocacy, FairRentNYC, Commercial Rent Stabilization, and storefront stability.

What was emerging
The work involved many stakeholders, public/private source materials, legal and policy questions, city/state strategy lanes, shifting meetings, and sensitive coalition context that could easily become fragmented or overexposed.
What became usable
Recurring cultural-space meetings, public event pathways, practical safety and legal sessions, town halls, hearings, campaign actions, running minutes, action trackers, source maps, public campaign websites, and shared campaign memory.
