Dear Friends,

The Fairfax neighborhood has been planning since the mid-1990s for a strategy that would result in a renewing of the neighborhood. Many great things have happened and each project and program has helped to build to the moment where we are now. That moment, a critical juncture in the future of the area, is playing out before our eyes. With the Opportunity Corridor under construction, as well as our work in Innovation Square and the New Economy Neighborhood, Fairfax has become a real place of interest. That’s a good thing for our neighborhood.

We have to ensure that our neighborhood, though it will change, will change for the better and that the development that occurs benefits all. The residents that have called this place home for multiple generations, the neighborhood jewels such as Karamu House and neighborhood churches, the ever-evolving Cleveland Clinic and the new residents that have made and continue to make Fairfax their home. It is important that others understand our history, our sense of place.

Development is not a bad thing. We are, after all, a Community Development Corporation. It’s our job to bring people and partnerships and plans together for the benefit of all who live and work in Fairfax. We continue to strive to meet those goals.

This is where we prepare. This is where we learn. This is where we grow. This is where we build. This is where we thrive. 2017 was a year of much accomplishment. We achieved goals. We made great strides in securing the future of the Fairfax neighborhood. And the work goes ever on.

New leaders and new realities make this a challenging, but once in a lifetime period where we have the chance to make a real difference. We will continue to be vigilant as we work to make our dreams a reality.

Fairfax is our community. This is where we live. This is where we will stay. This is where we will flourish and grow.

Sincerely,

Denise VanLeer Stephen E. BaucherExecutive Director President, Board of Directors

This is where we build.Model Blocks Program

In 2017, all Fairfax streets and blocks were designated as Model Blocks, and FRDC assisted homeowners throughout the neighborhood. Model Blocks is a home repair program that provides low income resident homeowners with exterior repairs and improvements such as minor carpentry work (including porch repair), painting, gutter repair or replacement, roof repair or replacement, power washing and yard lights. This year, FRDC assisted 24 homeowners throughout the community.

Meet Fairfax Resident Jonathan Chase HolmesChase previously rented in University Heights, while working as a Program Manager for Community Outreach at Cleveland Clinic’s Langston Hughes Health Education Center. Through the Greater Circle Living Program he was able to buy his own home in the Woodhaven development in Fairfax.

“It was simple because I had people willing to assist me and make things easy for me,” says Chase. “There were classes geared toward first-time homeowners on financial literacy. Once that was done they started building my home. I have great neighbors, and I’m excited by what’s going to happen in the future with Opportunity Corridor and the businesses and developments starting to emerge.”

Real Estate In 2017, FRDC acquired 14 properties, including 13 located in the future Innovation Square site, and one property in the New Economy Neighborhood. FRDC also sold three properties, including an apartment building and two single family homes.

FRDC staff identified parcels for acquisition for the construction of the new Bolton Elementary School.

To continue our efforts to stabilize the value of real estate in Fairfax, FRDC inspected 137 houses in the neighborhood and 39 commercial businesses. Those with code violations were referred to the City of Cleveland’s Building and Housing Department. Five properties were demolished.

Greater Circle Living

Greater Circle Living (GCL) is a program developed and administered by FRDC. It has been helping people move into the Greater University Circle (GUC) neighborhoods for the past nine years. By providing incentives to move into GUC neighborhoods, GCL assists in increasing the tax base and provides an expanding customer base businesses. The program also encourages community involvement by new residents, which helps to support the ongoing recovery in GUC neighborhoods.

In 2017, GCL processed 91 transactions, including funding 24 home purchases and 63 rental assistance payments. In total, we helped increase the population of GUC neighborhoods by 111 people.

In addition, GCL continues to stabilize home values in the neighborhoods by providing home maintenance and improvements, including driveway replacement, masonry, window replacement, rebuilding porches and painting.

This is where we learn.

Jaziah Shipp selected to FBI’s Future Agents In Training ProgramJaziah Shipp is a 16-year old resident of Griot Village and has lived at the property since it opened. He is a junior at John Hay High School and a member of The Distinguished Gentlemen.

The Future Agents In Training Program is a three-day national program sponsored through the FBI where teens from across the United States get to work on real FBI cases and are assigned a special agent. This year, there were over 200,000 applicants with just 1,200 selected to be part of the program.

In addition, Jaziah has been a part of the Cleveland Urban Minority Alcoholism Drug Abuse Outreach Program Federation and was awarded the Helen Postell Youth Award. He was able to go to Washington D.C. and spend a week on Capitol Hill meeting with Senators Sherrod Brown and Rod Portman to discuss programs and ways that they can support anti-drug programs for teens.

Summer Camp ExperienceGriot Village children learned to “Peel Off the Layers” in a summer camp experience. The program consisted of eight two-hour sessions led by founders, Naeesha Grand and Robert Bradley. Many Layers of Me is a program created to help students find out who they are and transform them into the person they are destined to be. The curriculum was created to help students understand the root of their aggression, help them own and regulate their emotions and make decisions in a calm and thoughtful manner.

Movie NightsAgain this year, families from throughout the Fairfax neighborhood gathered for Movie Nights in July and August. Finding Dory was the crowd pleaser shown in July, sponsored by the Construction Employers Association. In August, we presented Hidden Figures, sponsored by Cleveland Clinic. Fun included face painting, African drumming, line dancing, music, free popcorn and water. Cleveland Clinic also provided kids’ activities and health education.

Meet the AuthorsOn Saturday, July 15, 2017, twelve youth and one grandparent from Griot Village were able to attend an interactive workshop at the Cleveland Public Library Main Campus. Erica Marks, Youth Librarian and Coordinator reached out to Griot Village to partner to provide the transportation and lunch for up to 35 of our residents. They were able to meet Javaka Steptoe, an eclectic artist, designer, illustrator and award-winning author of Radiant Child, and Shelley Pearsall, author of All the Above, which is the story about four Cleveland middle school students on their quest to set a math record.

Lunch BuddiesThrough our partnership with Bolton Elementary School, the Lunch Buddies Program connects adult volunteers with students in grades 2-4 to encourage positive relationships and cultivate community. In 2017, three FRDC employees and seven neighborhood volunteers engaged with 96 Bolton 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade students. During that time, the students participated in an art assignment in which they created a mural from craft projects that were hung on a wall. Bolton’s mascot is a bee and students colored bees, then beehives, then flowers and suns. The mural represented the school community. The children loved seeing their artwork displayed in the cafeteria and deeply engaged with us in discussions about what it means to be a community.

This is where we prepare.Workforce Development Program

FRDC’s Workforce Development Program continued to grow and expand. FRDC collaborated with Cleveland Clinic’s Greater University Circle Employee Resource Group (GUC-ERG) to host Employment Workshops. These workshops were established to provide residents and clients with the opportunity to learn and discover how to navigate Cleveland Clinic’s career website and application process, and explore employment opportunities with Cleveland Clinic.

FRDC’s Workforce Development Program established new partnerships, including Towne Park, a national valet company new to the Cleveland market. FRDC also established a relationship with Dominion East Ohio and began to plan for recruiting/hiring events in 2017. FRDC continued to provide soft skill development workshops including mock interviews, and continued our partnership with PNC Fairfax Connection.

FRDC was a WorkKeys Training & Testing site in partnership with Towards Employment. WorkKeys is a first step toward closing the skills gaps, improving workforce quality and providing assessments to help individuals earn the national Career Readiness Certificate, a portable credential that documents essential work skills.

Ninety-nine individuals participated in the WorkKeys Program in 2017. In all, 378 individuals were engaged in Workforce Development programs. Sixty-seven individuals were employed in 2017 as a result of FRDC’s program.

This is where we work.

New businesses are moving into Fairfax. Established businesses are remodeling or expanding. All can sense the energy of the Opportunity Corridor, Innovation Square and Cedar Avenue landscape improvements.

In 2017, FRDC provided technical assistance sessions to 39 companies and closed on two small business loans through the City of Cleveland’s Department of Economic Development Neighborhood Retail Assistance Program (NRAP) and with the Economic and Community Development Institute (ECDI).

Chelsey’s Original Soul Food Restaurant & Carryout opened in May of 2017 on Central Avenue. The restaurant offers a great selection of Southern, Creole and Cajun cooking.

The Fairfax neighborhood welcomes Label 78 Restaurant & Lounge which provides an upscale, contemporary venue for food, beverage and entertainment. The restaurant held its Grand Opening on Thanksgiving Eve, 2017.

In addition, the Rose of Sharon and Doc’s Auto Clinic were recognized at the Cleveland Celebrates Small Business Event, held in May, 2017.

Community Clean-Ups During 2017, Fairfax residents and stakeholders volunteered to clean-up 16 areas around the neighborhood. The Olivet Sustainable Manna Ministry, Louis Stokes Scholars, FRDC and Fairfax residents worked on various projects including:

`Quincy Community Garden at East 90th and Quincy

` The Francis Jones Pavilion on Cedar Avenue between East 81st and East 82nd

` Griot Village Playground

` The Botanical Gardens at Fairfax Urban Garden

Fairfax Urban GardenFourteen volunteers and interested stakeholders worked for four weeks to clear former vacant lots for the Fairfax Urban Garden. The Garden is maintained by participants in the Green Corps Program and provides fresh, low-cost vegetables.

This is where we grow.Partner of the Year–City Architecture

Our Partner of the Year for 2017 is City Architecture, an organization with deep roots in the Fairfax neighborhood. City Architecture’s involvement in Fairfax includes the development of Fairfax Place (1992), Bicentennial Village (1996), Beacon Place (1996), Vienna Distributing (2001), the Renaissance at Fairfax Park (2003), Quincy Park (2003), Opportunity Corridor Planning (2011/2013), Griot Village (2014), Innovation Square Neighborhood Plan (2017), the initial work on the East Cedar Apartment Renovation and Playwright Park.

City Architecture strives to develop projects that respect and complement their surrounding context. They think of themselves as neighborhood builders, dedicated to creating unique places for people and championing Cleveland’s neighborhoods, many of which have been under-appreciated in past decades. Historic preservation has played a strong role in the firm’s development as well, with the recognition that a community’s unique history is told through its historic structures.

City Architecture is a very collaborative team of individuals, with as much work happening “behind the scenes” as in front. With that being said, their three Partners–August Fluker, Alex Pesta and John Wagner–all share a deep involvement with the firm’s work in Fairfax. Krysta Pesarchick, Matt Stevenson, Michelle Bandy-Zalatoris and Charles Hall have played significant

roles in bringing City Architecture’s projects in Fairfax to life. August Fluker’s personal involvement steps well beyond his role at City Architecture in that he and his family are Fairfax residents–some of the first to move into Beacon Place.

In addition to its work in urban design, City Architecture is fully committed to an ongoing role of training and mentoring. They participate in several outreach efforts and programs, as well as hiring summer interns and students to learn more about planning and design. This includes hosting high school students in a shadow program, speaking at outreach events and career days and supporting initiatives such as Tri-C’s CLE3 Institute, where City Architecture helped facilitate a week-long community session that studied several areas in the Central Neighborhood.

We are proud of our long relationship with City Architecture and look forward to working with them to implement the Innovation Square plan into a diverse neighborhood, offering new living options while preserving the neighborhood’s historic housing stock.

Congratulations to our Partner of the Year!

This is where we remember. Resident of the Year Emeritus–Harry Winfield

Among My Souvenirs

(1928)

Music by Horatio Nicholls; Lyrics by Al Dubin

(credited to Edgar Leslie)

There’s nothing left for me of days that used to be

There’s just a memory among my souvenirs

Some letters tied in blue, a photograph or two

I see a rose from you among my souvenirs

A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest

And though they do their best to give me consolation

I count them all apart and as the teardrops start

I find a broken heart among my souvenirs

Harry has recently been taking computer classes with his daughter, because he knows that preserving his memories digitally is the way of the future.

He has a personal philosophy, well worth considering. “I don’t want to grow old. That’s not my effort,” he says. “I want to mature. I want to ripen. And I think I’m doing a pretty good job at it.”

As Harry talks, he remembers a song about souvenirs, popular in the ‘50s. Harry’s collection of countless photos and about 1,000 videos are the souvenirs of his life in Fairfax.

10 11

Although Harry Winfield no longer resides in Fairfax, he still lives here by means of his incredible collection of photographs, videos and other memorabilia, all focused on the Fairfax neighborhood. His collection is so extensive that a professor from Case Western Reserve University has visited him to review it. As the result of a grant, he has a Cleveland Foundation Fellow working with him to catalogue his collection. One goal is to have parts of the collection converted into public art in Playwright Park.

Harry first arrived in Fairfax in 1955, with Virginia Louise, his wife and love of his life, and a growing family. At first, they lived on the second floor of a house on East 82nd Street, but when their friend Barbara Johnson bought a duplex at 2229 East 82nd, they were offered one side and moved in.

Harry remembers the Fairfax of the ‘50s as a middle-class, Black neighborhood with active street clubs. People looked out for and helped each other. “When I moved here the neighborhood was solid,” says Harry. “People cared about their neighbors.”

For example, Louise Brister was the founder of the Bolton PTA, which originally met in her home. The remnants of that original group still meet every year in August, and Harry always attends.

The neighborhood got together and planned and developed a garden on the corner of 82nd and Cedar Avenue. All the men cleaned the weeds up and dug wells. When it came time for the dedication, they blocked off Cedar and had a big celebration, with TV stations covering the event.

Harry remembers a store on Cedar called Maxwell Drugs, with a soda fountain. The pharmacist was simply known as “Doc.” Even though Harry was working two jobs, sometimes things were hard. Harry would give Doc a post-dated check, and Doc would hold it before cashing it to help Harry and his family get through.

Then came the exodus of the 1960s. People moved to the suburbs and in their place came crime and drugs. No one left in Fairfax was untouched by the blight. All three of Harry’s children became addicted to alcohol and drugs. His youngest daughter, however, was able to turn her life around. Today she runs a half-way house for addicted women. “I couldn’t say enough about how proud I am of her,” says Harry. “She made a complete 180-degree turn. She is my right hand.”

Harry made a vow to record the history, good and bad, of his Fairfax community. He has been true to that vow. “I document my life in Fairfax in photographs and videos because it’s vital. And when I go through what I have taken, it has such energy to it. I think there’s substance to it that needs to be shared with young people. It’s my legacy and I don’t want it to be lost.”

This is where we help each other.HEAPFRDC continued to assist those in need in 2017, with the longstanding HEAP partnership with CHN Housing Partners. HEAP staff assisted over 5,100 people with financial payments to restore utilities or prevent services from being disconnected, determine eligibility for the Percentage of Income Program, and process applications for the Cuyahoga County Prevention Retention & Contingency (PRC) Program.

Homework HelpHomework Help is a unique and innovative after school program that is operational during the school year, Monday through Thursday from 3:30 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. FRDC partners with volunteers from Antioch Baptist Church, John Carroll University and Case Western Reserve’s Mandel School to provide Griot Village youth assistance with homework, literacy, mentoring, time management and social behavior skills. During 2017, computer software was added to the program offerings to increase participant reading and digital literacy skills.

Rain BarrelsIn partnership with the City of Cleveland’s Office of Sustainability, Cleveland homeowners are able to receive free rain barrels for their homes. Training is available for residents to install the rain barrels that are assembled and distributed by the City of Cleveland. During 2017, FRDC coordinated with City staff to provide 14 rain barrels to Fairfax area residents.

This is where we thrive.IBM/Explorys in the New Economy Neighborhood

Progress continued on the design and construction of the IBM Explorys campus at 10500 Cedar Avenue, including meetings with the Cleveland Planning Commission in February, East Design Review District in March and the Cleveland Board of Zoning Appeals in April.

Explorys, a Cleveland company that merged with IBM, will reside in the 43,000-square-foot research and development center, which allows the company to stay in Cleveland and retain over 300 jobs. The company will be able to serve the major medical institutions of the area out of the new facility. This project is also the anchor to the entrance of the new Opportunity Corridor.

Innovation SquareInnovation Square is designed to provide new, better and more varied housing options, and bring new employment and cultural opportunities to the neighborhood. Reinvestment in arts and civic amenities will help fuel community pride. Neighborhood-serving retail businesses will create new vibrancy on main street blocks, leveraging recent adjacent investments. In 2017, FRDC’s development team continued to move the project forward. FRDC engaged with the preferred development partner to discuss the project and several community meetings were held. The Innovation Square Neighborhood Plan was adopted by the City of Cleveland Planning Commission in July. Throughout the year, FRDC continued to raise funds for predevelopment activities and acquire land for this important economic development project.

Adopt A FamilyWorking with our partners at Westfield Insurance, Antioch Baptist Church, Cleveland Clinic employees and contractors, FRDC was able to adopt 14 families, including five families at Griot Village. Our support made the holidays a little bit happier for 47 children in the neighborhood. This annual program identifies families in the Fairfax area who give back to the community and are in need of financial support during the holiday season.

Because of the record number of adopted families, our annual event had to be split over two days. Over 65 people filled the FRDC conference room on the first day, including contractors from the Health Care Campus at Cleveland Clinic. Another 23 attended on the second day.

Holiday Gift CardsFRDC and our new Ward 6 Councilman Blaine Griffin’s office distributed 1,000 gift cards from Dave’s Supermarkets to low to moderate income households in Ward 6 during this holiday season.12 13

Playwright ParkPlanning for Playwright Park was completed and construction began in November 2017. FRDC applied for and was granted dollars from Cuyahoga County to assist with furnishings in the space. The first phase of Playwright Park is expected to be completed in June of 2018. Playwright Park will improve the image of the neighborhood, encourage community involvement, serve as a catalyst for ongoing revitalization efforts through the expansion of the residential population, the revitalization of commercial corridors and the establishment of neighborhood amenities. In addition, the Park will improve access in and out of the area and improve connections to neighborhood anchor institutions.

Karamu

In 2017, President and CEO Tony Sias led an aggressive re-envisioning of Karamu House with the full support of the board, community and philanthropic partners. Accomplishments include: professionalizing the board and staff; completing a community needs assessment; stabilizing the organization’s finances; and launching a full-scale renovation project, with the grand re-opening of the Jelliffe Theatre scheduled for summer 2018. Additional 2017 highlights include: a new quarterly jazz and comedy performance series drawing sold out audiences; top quality theatre productions, such as Simply Simone, Sassy Mamas and Passing Strange that earned critical acclaim; as well as special performances in partnership with the Cleveland Orchestra in Miami, Akron and Severance Hall for more than 5,000 students celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This is where we celebrate.Louis Stokes Community Visionary Award

Having a vision is not enough–you have to be willing to work to make it happen. So, it was fitting that the 16th Louis Stokes Community Visionary Award was presented on September 15, 2017, to Congressman John Lewis.

The award was presented at a breakfast attended by over 500 people, in the ballroom of the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Cleveland. After welcoming remarks and an invocation, Congressman Lewis was introduced by the Honorable Marcia L. Fudge, Congressional Representative for the 11th District in Ohio.

John Lewis has dedicated his life to protecting human rights, securing civil liberties and building what he calls “The Beloved Community” in America. In his acceptance speech, Congressman Lewis said, “I am deeply honored here in Cleveland to accept this award named for my friend Lou Stokes. Lou Stokes was a true public servant dedicated to our country and to the well-being of all of our people. He never gave up and he never gave in. He kept the faith and he kept his eyes on the prize. I salute each and every one of you for being here today in support of your efforts to make Cleveland safe and our nation a better place. We’ve come too far and made too much progress to go back, we are only going forward.”

This is where we succeed.Cleveland Clinic Health ChallengeWe won! That is, the Fairfax Neighborhood won the trophy in the 2017 Cleveland Clinic Health Challenge. The six-week Health Challenge is part of The Healthy Community Initiative, which is a collaborative effort between Cleveland Clinic and community partners to promote optimal health and wellness through education, nutrition and physical activity. The 7th Annual Health Challenge kicked off with an all-communities event at the Cleveland Clinic Langston Hughes Community Health & Education Center. Residents from the Fairfax, Central/Kinsman, Glenville and Hough neighborhoods came together to enroll at this family-friendly event, featuring free health screenings, exercise and dance demonstrations, cooking demonstrations, a safety tent, raffle gifts, music, prizes and more. Six weeks later, the Fairfax team of residents took home the trophy for most weight lost and most activities! That’s a healthy victory!

FRDC Technology LabThe Fairfax Neighborhood Technology Center continues to be an asset for the neighborhood. In calendar year 2017, usage at the center increased for a total of 2,859 persons. The Technology Center offers City of Cleveland residents free computer training classes from a qualified technology instructor. In 2017, FRDC expanded its audience by providing computer training for high school participants in the Cleveland Clinic Louis Stokes Scholars Program. FRDC’s approach is based on progressive instruction that encourages the expansion of technology applications and resources for residents. Computer access and education is especially important for underserved communities; ensuring that residents stay informed, connected and competitive within an increasingly evolving digital environment.

Cedar Landscaping

Fairfax residents, Cleveland Clinic caregivers and high school students in the 2017 Cleveland Clinic Louis Stokes Scholars Program partnered in a beautification/tree planting project along Cedar Avenue. For years the land had been used for parking for construction workers. Thanks to the efforts of many hands, it has been converted into community green spaces and pocket parks. Volunteers worked on Cedar Avenue from East 95th to East 101st Streets.
