Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The West Side Community Organization sustains the people of the West Side to build community power and to advance a more just and equitable community. WSCO also serves as the planning council for Saint Paul's District 3 (zip code 55107). WSCO envisions a just, united, self-reliant West Side where all of our people are connected, safe, healthy, and successful.

The West Side Community Organization (WSCO) powers the people of the West Side to work together to create a vibrant, thriving neighborhood for all.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Community Planning & Advocacy: As one of the City of Saint Paul's District Councils, WSCO weighs in on land use and zoning decisions in the 55107-zip code, such as building permits and variances, writes letters of support on behalf of community groups' permit and licensing requests, and funding processes effecting the West Side, such as the Capital Improvement Budget process. Further, we share information about public infrastructure projects and investments, in some cases partnering with city/county/regional/state government agencies for community engagement services. Much of this work is led by West Side residents who meet monthly in our Riverfront Development and Land Use Committee (RDLU). In addition to that ongoing work, WSCO undertook a series of community planning issues in 2016. In partnership with the City of Saint Paul's Planning and Economic Development Department, we hosted a series of events and community input sessions about a new public-private park investment coming to the West Side Flats. WSCO hosted a forum about a particularly contentious tobacco license applicant attempting to reopen their business against community will. Lastly, with support from the University of Minnesota's Center for Urban and Regional Affairs and Saint Paul's Planning and Economic Development department, WSCO began a multifaceted commercial corridor study of Stryker Avenue. The study involved resident surveys, interviews with commercial property owners, and an in-depth assessment of current land use and zoning. The Stryker Avenue study resulted in a request for the city to conduct a rezoning study of Stryker Avenue (to take place in 2017) to potentially spur development interest in the many vacant properties in this area.$0$56,251
Community Engagement & Organizing: Our most crucial function as a neighborhood organization is to listen deeply to our residents and business owners and build their power through organizing and collective voice. These are the throughlines of our work. In 2016, WSCO's accomplishments in this program area include: 1) hosting creative engagement activities and conducting surveys and focus groups as part of Metro Transit's Better Bus Stop program about opportunities to improve bus shelters and overall transit service on the West Side (resulted in a new heated shelter and rich dataset for bus service improvement considerations); 2) held six listening sessions with West Side business owners' to better understand what resources or programs would benefit businesses and entrepreneurs; 3) staffing community events such as Cinco de Mayo, the West Side Farmers Market, National Night Out, Safe Summer Nights, resident board meetings of two high-density public housing developments, West Side Wednesdays with a booth of information and flyers of upcoming events; 4) hosting our annual business meeting with informational "vendors" and engagement activities and input opportunities; and 5) continuing supporting of neighborhood block clubs. WSCO demonstrated new capacity for organizing and leadership on issues concerning safety and community organizing in 2016. In our capacity as a District Council, WSCO voiced its opposition to proposed changes to the city's Police Civilian Internal Affairs Review Commission early in the decision-making process. This action encouraged interest by other District Councils, who looked at the issue more closely. Working in partnership with other organizing entities in the Twin Cities, WSCO convened a community dialogue between our Councilmember and residents, resulting in a change in vote on the issue in a contentious city hearing.$0$28,126
Economic Development and Community Wealth-Building: In May 2016, WSCO worked with the City of Saint Paul and Ramsey County Workforce Solutions to host a West Side Entrepreneur and Business Expo event. Service providers, financiers, and businesses participated. WSCO also helped organize a business mixer with city staff, and a small business Saturday event. This work fills an organizing and service gap left when the Riverfront Economic Development Association folded in 2007.$0$9,376

IRS990EZ/ProgramSrvcAccomplishmentGrp/DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt0Community Planning & Advocacy: As one of the City of Saint Paul's District Councils, WSCO weighs in on land use and zoning decisions in the 55107-zip code, such as building permits and variances, writes letters of support on behalf of community groups' permit and licensing requests, and funding processes effecting the West Side, such as the Capital Improvement Budget process. Further, we share information about public infrastructure projects and investments, in some cases partnering with city/county/regional/state government agencies for community engagement services. Much of this work is led by West Side residents who meet monthly in our Riverfront Development and Land Use Committee (RDLU). In addition to that ongoing work, WSCO undertook a series of community planning issues in 2016. In partnership with the City of Saint Paul's Planning and Economic Development Department, we hosted a series of events and community input sessions about a new public-private park investment coming to the West Side Flats. WSCO hosted a forum about a particularly contentious tobacco license applicant attempting to reopen their business against community will. Lastly, with support from the University of Minnesota's Center for Urban and Regional Affairs and Saint Paul's Planning and Economic Development department, WSCO began a multifaceted commercial corridor study of Stryker Avenue. The study involved resident surveys, interviews with commercial property owners, and an in-depth assessment of current land use and zoning. The Stryker Avenue study resulted in a request for the city to conduct a rezoning study of Stryker Avenue (to take place in 2017) to potentially spur development interest in the many vacant properties in this area.
IRS990EZ/ProgramSrvcAccomplishmentGrp/DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt1Community Engagement & Organizing: Our most crucial function as a neighborhood organization is to listen deeply to our residents and business owners and build their power through organizing and collective voice. These are the throughlines of our work. In 2016, WSCO's accomplishments in this program area include: 1) hosting creative engagement activities and conducting surveys and focus groups as part of Metro Transit's Better Bus Stop program about opportunities to improve bus shelters and overall transit service on the West Side (resulted in a new heated shelter and rich dataset for bus service improvement considerations); 2) held six listening sessions with West Side business owners' to better understand what resources or programs would benefit businesses and entrepreneurs; 3) staffing community events such as Cinco de Mayo, the West Side Farmers Market, National Night Out, Safe Summer Nights, resident board meetings of two high-density public housing developments, West Side Wednesdays with a booth of information and flyers of upcoming events; 4) hosting our annual business meeting with informational "vendors" and engagement activities and input opportunities; and 5) continuing supporting of neighborhood block clubs. WSCO demonstrated new capacity for organizing and leadership on issues concerning safety and community organizing in 2016. In our capacity as a District Council, WSCO voiced its opposition to proposed changes to the city's Police Civilian Internal Affairs Review Commission early in the decision-making process. This action encouraged interest by other District Councils, who looked at the issue more closely. Working in partnership with other organizing entities in the Twin Cities, WSCO convened a community dialogue between our Councilmember and residents, resulting in a change in vote on the issue in a contentious city hearing.
IRS990EZ/ProgramSrvcAccomplishmentGrp/DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt2Economic Development and Community Wealth-Building: In May 2016, WSCO worked with the City of Saint Paul and Ramsey County Workforce Solutions to host a West Side Entrepreneur and Business Expo event. Service providers, financiers, and businesses participated. WSCO also helped organize a business mixer with city staff, and a small business Saturday event. This work fills an organizing and service gap left when the Riverfront Economic Development Association folded in 2007.
