Program
Description
Funded by the Ford Foundation, this program seeks to develop and implement a model university-community partnership that will create a culturally sustainable mixed-income community in Pilsen. The model, Community Futures, will emphasize participation of long-time Pilsen residents and youth. UICNI will work with two established organizations in Pilsen: The Resurrection Project (TRP), a faith-based community development corporation, and the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum (MFACM), a nationally acclaimed museum.
