November 16, 2015 | Volume 9, Number 22 | November 16, 2015 | www.agrm.org This issue of Street Smart is sponsored by: Don’t Miss Early-Bird Registration—It Starts Today! From now until December 16, you can register for the 2016 AGRM Annual Convention for the low price of $479. After December 16, the first-person rate goes to $509. Take advantage of this opportunity to stretch your education and training budget and get more of your team to the biggest event of the year for rescue mission ministry professionals. As a reminder, the 2016 convention will be June 7–10 at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront in beautiful Jacksonville, Florida. The theme for this jam-packed inspirational event will be CounterCulture. You can find convention details in a number of places: Check out the insert in the November/December issue of Rescue magazine or view the digital version here. Or head to our convention web pages at www.agrm.org/convention. And if you’re ready to sign up, you can go right to the registration page. AGRM’s conventions have become highly rated and have seen capacity crowds in recent years. Make sure your mission is part of all that’s going on. Ashmen Sees Europe’s Refugee Crisis Firsthand AGRM President John Ashmen was overseas last week, his first stop being the London City Mission for a Global City Mission Network planning meeting. He then headed on to Stockholm, where he observed the humanitarian efforts taking place in and around the Stockholm Central Station for hundreds of asylum seekers who arrive daily. John visited Stockholm City Mission and talked to staff members about what they are observing and learning in their work with these refugees. His last stop was Berlin City Mission, where he met with the Director Joachim Lenz. Berlin City Mission has always been the city’s go-to agency for refugees. They’ve typically had about 300 refugees on any given might—until this past July when they started seeing 18,000 per day! They have opened several air domes at former sports centers, housing 400 to 1,000 at each. John believes there is much for North America’s rescue missions to learn from our partners across the Atlantic, particularly with Middle Eastern refugees scheduled to reach our airports in the days ahead. AGRM Webinar to Focus on Mental Health Issues On December 7 at 9:00 a.m. EST, AGRM will host a webinar for members that will detail how missions can provide mental health services without compromising their calling. The instructor will be Brooks Ann McKinney, director of safety net provider relations, Mission Health and Hospitals. More details on how you can participate in this webinar will be coming soon. Photo Contest: Show Us Your Thanksgiving Events At AGRM, we love seeing all the wonderful things you and your mission are doing for people in need. Thanksgiving offers an opportunity for many missions to serve additional people in their communities. We want to see what you’re doing this year, so please share your photos with us in the following categories: • Best Thanksgiving Smile • What You’re Most Thankful For • Most Delicious Dish • Hardest Working Volunteer(s) • Sweetest Family Winners in each category will receive a $25 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card to share with their staffs! Tag us in your photos on Facebook (@Association of Gospel Rescue Missions) and Twitter (@AGRMNews or use #AGRMThanksgiving), or email your photos to Communications Assistant Beth Hall at [email protected]. Please include which of the five categories you are entering each photo in. The contest ends November 30, and winners will be announced in the December 15 issue of Street Smart. Members Show Great Interest in New Board Program AGRM’s new program for rescue mission boards called Ripple Effect—funded in part by a generous grant from the M.J. Murdock Trust—has generated significant interest from member missions in the Pacific Northwest. The Ripple Effect program involves a nine-month commitment by two board officers and the mission CEO, and provides a framework for board excellence. As the name implies, the goal is to not only influence the current boards of participating missions, but to also affect each organization’s future board members. And the ripples won’t stop there: AGRM believes that each organization completing the program will also become a model for board completeness and competency, influencing other rescue missions and nonprofit ministries. Ripple Effect is starting in January 2016 with eight missions in the Pacific Northwest, but AGRM is also offering up to three CEOs from any mission in our membership the chance to audit on-site events. For more information, go towww.agrm.org/rippleeffect. AGRM’s Snapshot Survey Results Coming Soon Our contracted analysts are currently very busy crunching the data that many missions submitted as part of AGRM’s annual Snapshot Survey the last week of October. Member missions interviewed more than 16,000 mission clients and guests as part of the survey to provide a one-day look at rescue ministry on the local level and across North America. The survey represents AGRM’s most requested and used information on homelessness and poverty. Missions that participated will receive a detailed document that compares local results to overall results, along with a press release template that can be used to share your mission's findings with the media. AGRM’s Job Recruiting Center Proves Popular Have you checked out AGRM’s new Recruiting Center? It’s easy—and it’s getting used! The Recruiting Center is a much-improved way to post jobs, collect résumés, and to view open positions at other missions—all as a member benefit with no additional charge. The Recruiting Center is made up of two components: 1. My Recruiting Center (www.agrm.org/recruiting) where you can post and manage your job listings for free. 2. Career Opportunities (www.agrm.org/careers) where applicants can go to view current job listings across the association. You can post as many positions as they like and manage how long positions are posted through a simple interface. The system allows missions to upload links to recruiting videos and to detailed job descriptions in .pdf or .doc formats. Another feature is the ability to specify a different job contact for each position posted, depending on the size of your human resources department. Applicants who view posts in Career Opportunities can apply online by clicking a “Send Résumé” button, allowing them to email the job contact an email cover letter and their résumé. Click here for instructions on using the Recruiting Center. In addition to finding jobs at the Careers tab on AGRM’s website, we also post links to current jobs in the Market Street section of each issue of Street Smart Looking Down the Street… • New Orleans Mission (New Orleans, Louisiana) held an “Honoring Our Heroes” event at the World War II Museum in the city on Veterans Day. The event included dinner, entertainment, and a silent auction. Proceeds benefitted the renovation of the mission’s facility, where more homeless veterans are served than at any other homeless shelter in the region. For information on the event, click here. • Last spring, Ball State University with the Indiana Writers Center worked with the women at the Center for Women and Children of Wheeler Mission Ministries (Indianapolis, Indiana) to create a compilation of their written works. The result is a published book titled Where Truth and Mercy Meet: The Homeless Women of Wheeler Speak. The book is a testament to their strength, perseverance, and faith. Read additional information and order a copy at Amazon.com. • Jim Harriger, executive director of Springfield Victory Mission (Springfield, Missouri), has announced plans to retire effective January 31, 2016, after 22 years of service. Craig Heidemann, president of the mission’s board of directors notes: “When Harriger started work at the mission in 1993, he envisioned what the mission could be—a place for men to grow in their knowledge of Jesus Christ and walk in His transforming power. Harriger’s vision for the mission has been realized. Through his leadership, thousands of men have turned their lives around and realized their potential in the Lord. Harriger’s God-given ability to see the potential in others, rather than defining men by their circumstances, has enabled thousands of men to transition from lives of poverty and addiction.” • Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission (Seattle, Washington) recently gathered key leaders from the entire region for Puget Sound City Advance. This two-day workshop was aimed at increasing the mission’s capability and commitment to the cities God has placed it in. Some 160 pastors/church leaders from 25 different cities attended. You can learn more via the effort’s blog. • Please welcome AGRM’s newest business member PCI Waste and Recycling Equipment (Portland, Oregon). PCI is a distributor of industrial waste and refuse recycling equipment—balers, compactors, shredders, hydraulic lifts, and conveying systems. Learn more at http://www.pciequipment.com.

This process involves revisiting past plans for the area and examining the business diversity of the neighborhood and a series of Focus Groups to gather input from various stakeholders including lenders, developers, residents, City officials, agency leaders, business owners, and other interested parties. This information was disseminated to six teams of architects each assigned to the Opportunity Sites. A day long charette was held at the UW-Milwaukee School of Architecture and Urban Planning on April 7th, 2016. Throughout the day, teams generated ideas for the sites and then shared them with the larger group to receive feedback. Following the initial input, the architectural teams revised their designs to reflect stakeholder input. 2 Community Design & Development Charette TABLE OF CONTENTS Near West Side 4 History 5 Maps 6-8 Land Use Parcels Ownership Owner Occupied Values Report Summaries 9-16 Avenues West Action Plan Advanced Housing in Avenues West Near West Side Partners 2015 Strategic Plan Neighborhood Demographics and Maps 17-25 Anchor Institutions Culture and Education Food Institutions Culture and Education Food Institution Recent Investment Traffic Count Precedents 26-31 Opportunity Sites 32-56 Site 1- 27th & Wisconsin (NE Corner) Site 2- 27th, Between Kilbourn & Wells (West Side) Site 3- 27th & Wisconsin (SW Corner) Site 4- Vliet, Between 35th & 37th (South Side of Vliet) Site 5- 35th & State Site 6- 35th & Wisconsin (West Side of 35th) Near West Side 3 NEAR WEST SIDE VLIET STREET 27TH STREET STATE STREET WISCONSIN AVE.
