This allows us to reclaim our spaces and narrative throughout the West Side and Greater St. Paul area. A new brand identity with street banners was completed for the District Del Sol corridor, and community engagement work was completed for Stryker and Smith corridors. DISTRICT DEL SOL BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT GRANTS - In partnership with the Commercial Vitality Zone program of the City of St. Paul, WSCO administered small business grants to local West Side businesses to help with facade and other improvements to ensure these businesses continue to thrive on the West Side for years to come. WSCO also supported local businesses in organizing around safety and other issues. 36733 0 15658 WEST SIDE VOICES FORUM - This is an initiative through WSCO, moving towards all West Siders having a voice in making decisions about their community. This is a welcoming space where folks can learn about WSCO, support their neighborhood, and get to know people in our community while participating in making decisions that impact the West Side community. Residents select to participate in one of several Action Circles to take action on a particular issue. Action circles included Land Use, Health and Environmental Justice, Arts, History, and Culture, Housing Justice, and WS 100 (voter engagement). 34242 0 38742 Leadership: INDIGENOUS AND WOMEN OF COLOR LEADERSHIP TABLE: WSCO co-created space to support and train a diverse group of women of color and indigenous identities from across the West Side to emerge into leadership positions and opportunities throughout our organization, community and beyond. This leadership development and support underpins all of our work as we know the most sustainable development results when local leaders can create pathways to self-sufficiency for themselves and their families. 4252 0 9425 Civic Engagement -West Side 100 (WS100) is a nonpartisan voter engagement initiative to work towards 100 % Voter Participation on the West Side.

This tool will allow community members to grade every development coming into the West Side by answering the question of "Who benefits?" to ensure our residents have equitable access to core assets such as affordable housing. 15714 0 4624 HOUSING JUSTICE: At WSCO, We believe that everyone deserves to live in safe, dignified, and affordable homes without fear of displacement. We are grounded in the histories of displacement that have affected the West Side, from the forced removal of the Dakota people in 1851, to the destruction of the immigrant community on the Riverside Flats in the early 1960's, to today's displacement of low-income people of color due to gentrification. We organize with renters on the West Side of Saint Paul to address repair issues, exploitation, evictions, and rent hikes, because housing is a right, not a commodity. 47893 0 43253 168658 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 MN X Monica Bravo 6512931708 209 Page Street West St Paul MN 55107 Monica Bravo Executive Director 40 0 X 59070 0 4843 Martin Hernandez Board Chair 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Karen Ollie Vice Chair - Through Feb 2019 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Jen Crea Vice Chair - From March 2019 to Present 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Kia Moua Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Leah Porter Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 JJ Bermio Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Krystle Cook Board Member - Through March 2019 1 0 X 0 0 0 Adriana Galvan Board Member - From April 2019 to present 1 0 X 0 0 0 Mike Herndon Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Carl Horton Board Member - From March 2019 to Present 1 0 X 0 0 0 Alicia Lucio Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Monica Marrocco Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Katrina Mendoza Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Yasmin Muridi Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Nancy D Paez Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 59070 0 4843 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 104792 151552 0 256344 0 0 0 0 0 0 1626 1626 0 0 1626 257970 1626 0 0 X 15654 15654 0 0 0 0 0 0 59070 46240 5907 6923 0 0 0 0 18864 15295 3569 0 0 0 0 0 4439 3390 668 381 10911 8373 1596 942 8055 96 7772 187 15015 15015 47523 45551 1972 0 43 37 0 6 3314 2009 1118 187 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 63 0 63 0 1906 1890 15 1 0 0 0 0 611 293 318 0 750 0 750 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3488 2790 384 314 Program supplies 15322 15140 47 135 Program activities 2000 2000 0 0 Printing and postage 6286 4347 1613 326 Fees and permits 3329 2625 577 127 6644 2928 3672 44 223287 168658 30041 24588 46281 64415 0 1001 0 10000 2000 8390 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8000 0 8000 8000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 56281 91806 421 511 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10000 10107 0 -38 10421 10580 X 7839 -8162 38021 89388 45860 81226 56281 91806 34683 0 0 0 683 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 164535 122836 167165 194319 256344 905199 2434 0 0 0 1626 4060 166969 122836 167165 194319 257970 909259 710 0 0 0 0 710 710 0 0 0 0 710 908549 46 20 0 0 0 66 46 20 0 0 0 66 167015 122856 167165 194319 257970 909325 0.99915 0.99796 0.00007 0.00009 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 8000 8000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8000 0 Misc payable -38 -38 X X X 1 Amplify DMC LLC 1375 St Anthony Ave Suite 201 Saint Paul MN 55104 Engaged to procure foundation grants in 2019 0 137686 15015 122671 137686 15015 122671 MN 1 Milly's Bakery and Cakes 421 Wabasha St S Saint Paul MN 55107 753113051 7775 0 Small business improvement grant Rodriguez Auto 411 Wabasha St S Saint Paul MN 55107 432048512 7779 0 Small business improvement grant 0 2 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Grantees must meet geographical and other eligibility requirements of the Commercial Vitality Zone program.
