Bringing Hope and Prosperity Back to an Urban Neighborhood

Bringing Hope and Prosperity Back to an Urban Neighborhood

The challenge

In the 1980s, “the UK’s national museums faced political pressure from the Conservative government to charge for admission, to make them less dependent on government funding".

Our History

Twelfth Street Heritage Development Corporation (TSHDC) is on a mission to improve the quality of life for residents of Kansas City’s most challenged urban neighborhoods: safer, cleaner streets; attractive and affordable homes; thriving businesses; inviting parks and playgrounds; neighbors who know each other. TSHDC staff and volunteers, in partnership with multiple public and private stakeholders, work daily to enrich the lives and enhance the landscape of a community where hope for neighborhood stability and prosperity was bleak. Established in 1984, TSHDC has been a catalyst for remarkable and measurable community progress.  In recent years, TSHDC has assumed a more strategic role by facilitating the development of beneficial relationships that accelerate housing and economic development.  The rebirth of this historic neighborhood is becoming an extraordinary example of community development in action. TSHDC has recently implemented several services that impact local families: Prison to Workforce Pipeline, Mentor KC, Parent Engagement Workshops, and Santa's Wonderland.

The impact

The national museums which dropped charges all saw substantial increases to their visitor numbers, an average of 70 percent. In the first year after free admission was introduced visitor figures.
