In 1966, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lived six months in North Lawndale as a symbolic gesture of his work, highlighting the economic plight of the poor. By that time, a series of economic and social distresses, including Sears’ (then the largest retailer in the world) move out of North Lawndale, had drastically shifted the neighborhood from its once vibrant state. By 1970, 75% of the businesses in North Lawndale left or closed. This economic and social exodus left North Lawndale to experience a loss of almost half of its housing units and population. Today, 39% of North Lawndale’s families are below the poverty level, 30% do not have a high school diploma, and 19% are unemployed. The per capita income is just over $12,500. Despite these hardships, the spirit and commitment of residents in North Lawndale, including the 26% under age 15 as of 2010, make the neighborhood ripe for impact.

Since last school year, Get IN Chicago has increased our support in North Lawndale to include parent engagement programs with Family Focus and Westcare, wraparound trauma and CBT services with Hektoen Institute, intensive mentoring and advocacy with Lawndale Christian Legal Center, and coding and technology trainings with Smart Chicago. This fall, UCAN, Alternative Schools Network, and Youth Advocate Program will start mentoring programs in the neighborhood, and Youth Guidance will scale up its CBT programming.
