BACKGROUND
As part of the Fiscal Year 2024 budget process, $200,000 in general funding was appropriated for a grant award to AAHCMSJV. Since its incorporation in 1989, the AAHCMSJV, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, has been an advocate for and promotor of African American history, cultural, and art in the Fresno community. AAHCMSJV’s current facility, located at 1857 Fulton St. Fresno, CA, was constructed in 1956, per the property assessment. AAHCMSJV is the sole owner and occupier of this facility.
AAHCMSJV retained a consulting firm to conduct a Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) of the facility. The FCA was conducted January 30, 2024 and identified several exterior and interior facility components in need of repair and/or replacement to secure the future of the facility. Based on the FCA recommendations, AAHCMSJV has identified exterior and interior facility improvements to be addressed with grant funding.
