ABSTRACT
This article describes a Latino community on the near southwest side of Chicago and the attempts of a community-based organization to respond to community issues and concerns. We first describe the history and characteristics of the community, highlight some of the challenges it currently faces and then discuss the development and activities of a unique church-based community organization. The organizing effort is assessed in light of the literature on community intervention as well as in relation to the community's cultural heritage and characteristics.
