A durable operating model

How the work sustains itself.

Community Justice Fresno does not need one large revenue source. A handful of understandable ones can support space, staffing, learning, coordination, community access, and shared infrastructure — without any single one of them being load-bearing.

Planning assumptions for partner review. Not a price list, not a forecast, and not a completed architectural or financial program.

The Commons · simple example

Small, boring, reliable math.

An illustrative site of approximately 10,000 sq ft. Affordable offices, memberships and desks provide a basic recurring base. These are planning rates for review, not a published price list.

Private offices

10 offices
× $500 / month

$5,000/ mo

Community memberships

25 memberships
× $100 / month

$2,500/ mo

Dedicated desks

20 desks
× $250 / month

$5,000/ mo

Basic recurring example

$12,500/ month

$150,000 / year at the same assumptions.

The rest of the space

Offices and desks are not the whole building.

The example above covers a modest part of approximately 10,000 sq ft. The remaining and shared space is what makes the Campus useful to people who will never rent a desk. No capacity claim is being made here — the architectural program does not exist yet.

What the goal is

A durable Campus does not need to maximize rent.

Affordable offices, memberships and desks can provide a basic recurring base. Room use, training, contracts, sponsorship and community support can help make the rest possible. The goal is not maximum revenue — it is enough reliable support to keep useful community infrastructure available.

Room use

Meeting, mediation, training and circle space used by partners and the community.

Training

Academy sessions, institutes and organizational learning.

Partner contributions

Shared costs where organizations use the Campus together.

Public contracts

Where a public body funds a defined service.

Philanthropy

Local and regional giving toward community infrastructure.

Community sponsorship

Businesses and residents sponsoring access for others.

Deliberately unpriced. Attaching speculative totals to these would make the model look more certain than it is.
