TUBMAN-CHAVEZ MULTICULTURAL
CENTER OVERVIEW |
|
The Tubman-Chavez Multicultural Center has a long history of serving
as a community center and gathering place for residents of southeastern
San Diego. Unfortunately, in the summer of 2005, Tubman-Chavez was
abandoned by its previous operator and had been closed to the public
for nearly a year while falling into disrepair and becoming a community
eyesore. Community expectation of the resident-led continued operation
of Tubman-Chavez has been repeatedly voiced by residents, and concern
over its decline and closure was widely discussed. In response to this
situation, the City of San Diego, the owner of the property, issued
an RFP for a new leaseholder and operator of the facility.

The Coalition of Neighborhood
Councils (CNC) submitted a successful proposal to the City which
will honor and significantly enhance the historical and community
expected use of the Tubman-Chavez Multicultural Center. In late 2003,
the San Diego City Council selected the CNC’s “Village
Center at Euclid and Market” proposal for designation as one
of five City of Villages (COV) pilot projects. The Tubman-Chavez
Multicultural Center sits at the heart of the Village Center at Euclid
and Market. The CNC’s proposal continues its demonstrated commitment
to maintain a vital and vibrant Tubman-Chavez Multicultural Center
at the heart of the community for years to come. |
