Street Corner Resources Inc
City-funded organization
Street Corner Resources Inc is a Harlem nonprofit founded in 2005 by Iesha Sekou that works to reduce gun violence in central Harlem using the Cure Violence public health model, and joined the city's Crisis Management System when it was established in 2014. Its NYC contracts, held with the Mayoralty, the Department of Youth and Community Development, and the Department of Education, carried titles including Crisis Management Systems, Anti-Gun Violence Services, and Anti-Gun Violence Initiative. None are active as of August 2026, but the organization was awarded $17,090,035 in city contracts since 2010, with $11,040,900 paid to date. 99% of that contract value, $16,895,035 across 12 contracts, was awarded without a fresh competitive bid, through negotiated contracts, an emergency procurement, non-competitive renewals, and discretionary member-item awards. The organization separately received $533,400 in City Council discretionary funding across 28 awards between FY2011 and FY2026.
