\nAdelina Salgado, a lifelong Pilsen resident, remembers arriving to the neighborhood for the first time on a Sunday afternoon. Her husband had migrated from Guerrero, Mexico to Chicago and had finally saved up enough money to send for her.
\nThe Salgados ended up living in a small apartment near 20th<\/sup> and Damen. Their apartment got even smaller when they began to raise a family. To make ends meet and support her family, Adelina began working in a factory making curtains and rug sample books.
\nAt the time, Pilsen\u2019s dilapidated housing stock, street violence, and poverty were creating an exodus of families leaving to other neighborhoods. Revitalization and reinvestment was desperately needed in the community.
\nDespite the problems, Adelina wanted her four children to grow up in Pilsen. However, she needed to find a way to improve her family\u2019s housing situation. This would give her peace of mind so she could focus on making sure her children went to school and didn\u2019t join gangs.
\nIt was during this time that the Salgados learned The Resurrection Project (TRP) would be building 100 homes in the community to provide a housing stock that would stabilize the community and build healthy communities one block at a time through homeownership. The 100 new homes would be part of a public lottery that would be held at one of the local parishes.
\nOn the day of the lottery, the Salgado family arrived to a packed church. They were assigned ticket number 87.
\nThe parish was bursting with excitement as they began pulling out the winning numbers. When Adelina\u2019s number was called, she couldn\u2019t believe it.
\nDespite having one of the winning tickets, the Salgados were still skeptical. The home, which was being built on an empty lot full of garbage and broken glass, was still under construction and they couldn\u2019t move in right away.
\n\u201cWhen I was unsure about the process to get our new home I would call TRP staff and they were very helpful answering my questions,\u201d said Adelina.
\nIt was winter when the Salgado family got the keys to their new home. The Salgado family had finally made their dream come true.
\n\u201cHaving your own casita<\/em> (home),\u201d said Adelina, \u201cis something positive even if you have to pay a mortgage because you are comfortable in it and there is more space.\u201d
\nFor the last 25 years, TRP has helped hundreds of people like the Salgado family achieve their dream of homeownership. As part of TRP\u2019s Vision 2020<\/em> plan<\/a>, TRP has increased its homeownership workshops and other services.
\nRecently, TRP also launched the Imagine More<\/em> Campaign<\/a> to raise $25 million to fund this vision. This will allow TRP to do more in five years than in the last 25 years and provide the financial resources necessary to leverage more than $460 million in community investment by 2020.
\nAs a steward of community assets, TRP will impact an even greater number of people in the Chicagoland area like Elvira by creating or preserving 822 housing units and more than 157,000 square feet of commercial and community facilities.
\nToday, Adelina is proud of having raised her four children, all of whom are college graduates with professional careers ranging from engineering to nursing.
\n\u201cThere was a lot of sacrifice but we managed to build a good life here,\u201d she said. \u201cI am very proud of their accomplishments and that my children were able to move forward.\u201d
\nHowever, there is still much to be done. TRP continues its commitment to balanced community development to help transform at-risk communities into communities of promise so that families like the Salgados can thrive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
