Cinema; ad hoc scheduling for planning Hubbard Farms events, neighborhood watch meetings, or other community-driven organizing and education; and weekly University of Michigan Social Work classes for the CBI program. Critical Exploration of Project Challenges The Boulevard House has experienced a number of challenges that continue to be integrated and addressed. For the first two years, the Museo del Norte project was the strongest presence in the space. El Museo featured exhibits with publicized openings and received strong community support; however, lack of consistent access to the exhibits and infrequent events compromised the space as a destination or community presence. Because el Museo was Boulevard's House primary user, it was unclear that the Boulevard House had its own mission and goals which were distinct from any one project under its roof. However, the Boulevard House's larger mission and goals remained largely in planning stages, due to lack of staff and funding. In Fall 2014, elements finally combined to allow a more directed presence and programming. A project plan was created which prioritized completing initial remodeling work inside the space to optimize areas for galleries; office space to support community scholars in their applied research; and overnight residential space for graduate students, faculty, activists, and allies who were engaged in Detroit. This first project stage was impacted by tensions around ownership and control of the space among partners and the landlord. As this was being resolved, the renovation stage was terminated entirely, following the landlord's notice that the building was being put on the market. With UM's long-term occupancy now in question, the program team regrouped and moved forward immediately with implementing the second stage of the project plan - creating programming within the space. The new circumstances raised interesting questions about how to create place-based space when the "place" was uncertain. While creating logistical ambiguities which must be managed, the situation mirrored critical questions about changes taking place within Detroit: What does it mean to occupy space which is tenuous as an indirect result of economic politics? Who has claim to the city and how is that expressed through land policies? In looking at occupancy, what does it mean to be authentic and legitimate, and whose voices govern the determination? If Boulevard House must relocate, does it relocate to another Southwest location or elsewhere in the city - and what questions does that raise about the service constituency of Boulevard
