Our community of west Humboldt Park registers a Community Disadvantage Index of 9/10, presenting greater disadvantage to its residents than 90% of communities in America.  Though unemployment, undereducation, violence, and incarceration abound, our youth and their families show incredible determination and grace as they overcome their challenges.
