Home to a thriving retail district with over 1,000 businesses, Little Village is the heart of Chicago’s Mexican community. Originally a Bohemian neighborhood, Little Village is now the largest Mexican community in the Midwest. The current residents of the neighborhood are proud of their rich legacy of fighting for social and economic justice. One enduring symbol of this activism is the Little Village Lawndale High School Campus, which was the result of neighborhood mothers going on a hunger strike to fight for a new community school.
Enlace Chicago is the CAF's community partner in Little Village. Enlace is also key partner for CAF's Open House Chicago program. The planning and development of a Neighborhood Voices tour, which will build on the successes of the Open House Chicago program, is scheduled for late 2012.
