Affordable Housing Internship-ELACC

Abstract

This summer I interned at East LA Community Corporation. ELACC is a nonprofit comprehensive organization that builds affordable housing, offers financial counseling for first home buyers, offers foreclosure prevention clinics and also does community organizing. I worked in the community organizing department where I lead a beautification project in a public park in Boyle Heights. The purpose of the community organizing branch is to increase community engagement and increase the capacity for leadership.
