What's At Stake? Queen Mother is A pillar in Harlem
Protecting the last vestiges of elders in Harlem from the predators
Cultural heritage
Alexander Hamilton. Should he be alive, he’d be very much concerned with the 1% take over from the 99%. PLAN OF RE-ORGANIZATION

Moving forward, a re-organization plan is needed as well as a Bankruptcy Attorney. Elders should continue to be a part of the fabric of the community. The Building will continue to serve women with children and people with low income as it has since the foundation. It will serve as a home to New Future Foundation, Inc., a non profit founded by Queen Mother Blakely. Visit our website for more information on Queen Mother's NGO: www.newfuturefoundation.org

It will also seek to remain financially sustainable by generating rental income in order to keep up with high costs of the neighborhood.
