The Neighborhood Project



"I wish people could see the good in Cabrini. People always think it's all bad."

Those words came from LeAnna, an eighth grade student at Schiller Elementary in Cabrini Green. She was participating in the 2005 summer program called SSLID. Her words began The Neighborhood Project.


The Neighborhood Project is a photograph exhibit with written reflections. The goal is to preserve and present the "good" in the community. The Neighborhood Project is for the Cabrini youth, the Cabrini families and the many others who have not known the positive community that exists in the notorious Cabrini Green housing project of Chicago.
