Generous Futures, L3C, d/b/a "Velveteen Lounge & Restaurant," is a multi-disciplinary cooperative platform, prototyping new models of cooperative economy that re-connect communities to sites of financial power. It responds to systemic challenges in New Orleans, posed by the stresses of gentrification, where main streets no longer reflect or cater to the needs of adjacent neighborhoods, and outmigration trends as affordability and diversity decline. Generous Futures re-prioritizes a communal right to market infrastructure, institutionalizes public domain, tenure, entertainment and well being. We are in the industry of creating and affirming physical and conceptual public goods.
