Project Description
Description and Rationale: Provide a brief project description and rationale (one page maximum).

The City of Maplewood respectfully requests a direct appropriation in the amount of $720,000 to complete renovations and furnish the two remaining shelter floors at Harriet Tubman Center East in Maplewood. This is a building of statewide architectural significance formerly used as a monastery. This appropriation will address an unmet community need by providing additional shelter for youth and young adult victims of violence and exploitation, primarily individuals who are victims of sex

trafficking. The renovated floors will provide safe and accessible rooms for 36 young people and their children each night, plus space for the services needed for them to build safe, stable, violence-free lives. The funding requested is included as a portion of the $8.178 million project to purchase, retrofit and refurbish the former monastery and establish it as a statewide residential, family and collaborative community service center. This center will serve and support individuals and families in crisis, the systems and services that support them, and also the communities working to innovate and sustain change. It makes sense to invest additional capital into this project because the majority of life safety, accessibility, and other code work was completed during the first phase of renovations. Because this project re-purposes an existing building and because the initial renovations are completed, it will cost only $36 per square foot to renovate the final two shelter floors of the facility. This cost represents 14% to 22% of construction costs for other facilities: Facility Hospital Jail Assisted Living College Dorm Tubman Shelter 8) Sq. Ft. 20,000 20,000 20,000 20,000 20,000 $/Sq.

Other Project Information

10) Project schedule. Anticipated Start Date: 90 days after project financing is available. Anticipated Occupancy date: 120 day renovation period.

11) Predesign. For projects with a total construction cost of $1.5 million or more: Has a project predesign been completed? - Yes Has the predesign been submitted to the Commissioner of Administration? - Yes 12) State operating subsidies. Identify any new or additional state operating dollars that will be requested for this project. (Specify the amount and year, if applicable). Based on 32 additional residents, Tubman will need to secure $975,000 per year ($83.37 per day per person) in order to provide programs and services. We hope to receive funding from a variety of sources including local and state government, and the private sector. 13) Sustainable building guidelines. Tubman does not seek to build new infrastructure or to disturb undeveloped soil as part of this project. Instead Tubman has chosen to retrofit an existing building of historical and architectural significance for a series of modern uses. Mindful of sustainability guidelines and with regular maintenance, valuable social services could be effectively delivered from this site for a period of 50 years or more it was built to last for 200 years. Tubman will work with the Center for Sustainable Building Research in order to incorporate B.3 mandates into the facility where ever appropriate. 14) Sustainable building designs. Not applicable. 15) Resolution of support and priority designation. Has the governing body of the applicant passed a resolution of support (which indicates the projects priority number if the applicant is submitting multiple requests)? - Yes
