#Esperanza is happy to partner w/ @SWOPorg & @GageParkLatinx to bring more #vaccines to the #SouthwestSide! Many thanks to @BlockClubCHI for the story about our second vaccination site in #GagePark!
Coronavirus has devastated Gage Park, one of the hardest-hit neighborhoods in all of Illinois. But it's now getting a vaccination site that'll be open to all residents. buff.ly/3k0yG3s

We're honored to be highlighted alongside longtime partner @SWOPorg in this feature report on their exciting plans to continue working with residents to reimagine Chicago Lawn as it could be. @ballesteros_312
A nonprofit group honed in on 20 square blocks in Chicago Lawn five years ago, aiming to rehab almost 100 vacant properties. Now only eight remain empty, and the group is getting a $12 million state grant to continue the work, @ballesteros_312 reports. bit.ly/2EWR8q8
