Nueva Vida September 2014: The TRP Newsletter

From the desk of Raul…

Dear friends and supporters,
At TRP, we take a comprehensive approach to creating healthy communities. But we also understand that whether you own your home or rent, housing is the backbone of any healthy community. A stable home environment can positively impact a family’s quality of life, leading the path to economic success, a good career, and better academic achievement.
So it’s always encouraging to hear stories like the ones in this newsletter about families who improved their living situation through one of our programs or services. The Diaz family, who are lifelong Pilsen residents, were on the verge of losing their home.They decided to come to TRP for help and were able to find the solutions they needed to be able to keep their home. A determined mom and tenant at Casa Morelos also shared her story of moving into the neighborhood to keep her son safe from youth violence.
Healthy communities also need engaged, empowered youth. Our afterschool program at Orozco recently offered a photojournalism program where students used photography to spotlight life and issues in our communities. Meanwhile, college students at La Casa have been learning new skills in our TRP internship program that’s helping them get the hands-on experience they need to succeed.
We continue to find new ways of sharing our stories with you.This month’s TRPtv episode covers the Entrepreneur Training Program TRP offered to help small businesses. We also redesigned our website to make it easier for you to learn about TRP and even how to get involved in the work we do.We also recently joined Pinterest to share photos of our work with you.We encourage you to share these new channels with your networks.
As always, thank you for your continued faith and trust in our mission to create healthy communities throughout Chicago’s Southwest side.
