"Chicago Está Reconstruyendo Escuelas Abandonadas"

En un esfuerzo para revitalizar el corazón comunitario de la ciudad, la Junta de Educación de Chicago (CPS) ha aprobado el plan para convertir dos escuelas abandonadas en centros atléticos y vivienda asequible. Estas propiedades, que fueron cerradas hace años, ahora tendrán un nuevo propósito gracias a la colaboración entre Breakaway Community Development y P3 Markets LLC.

Breakaway se enfoca en proporcionar servicios de capacitación asequibles a jóvenes atletas del vecindario de Austin, con el objetivo de ayudarlos a alcanzar su potencial deportivo. El equipo liderado por Khalilah Johnson busca ofrecer espacios donde los niños puedan aprender habilidades como la narración de deportes, fotografía y arbitraje deportivo.

El proyecto incluirá una instalación de dos pisos con canchas completas de baloncesto y voleibol, un campo de césped interior para béisbol, fútbol, fútbol americano y otros deportes. Además, la organización sin fines de lucro también planea ofrecer servicios de salud mental para ayudar a los jóvenes en su desarrollo holístico.

La propuesta ganadora fue presentada por P3 Markets LLC, quien busca reutilizar el edificio principal como un desarrollo de vivienda asequible de 86 unidades. El plan incluye donar parte del sitio a la organización juvenil sin fines de lucro, ARK Entrepreneurial Center, que planea construir un edificio de uso mixto con un centro comunitario para programas juveniles.

Estas renovaciones son un paso importante hacia la reconstrucción del corazón comunitario de Chicago. La Junta de Educación de la ciudad busca aprovechar estas oportunidades para ofrecer servicios esenciales a las familias que lo necesitan, y Breakaway Community Development está trabajando incansablemente para hacer realidad sus objetivos.

"El deporte puede conducir a una educación gratuita", comentó Khalilah Johnson. "Nuestro objetivo es ayudar a los jóvenes a alcanzar su potencial, no solo en el deporte, sino también en la vida".

just saw this and thought it was cool that they're repurposing those abandoned schools into community spaces... like, it's not just about the sports facilities, but also about giving back to the community . I mean, Breakaway Community Development is doing some amazing work with ARK Entrepreneurial Center too . It's like, who says you can't make a difference when you're not even playing a sport? the fact that P3 Markets LLC is reusing the edificio principal as affordable housing units is also super commendable . I hope it all works out and brings some positive vibes to Chicago's neighborhoods

I'm loving this idea! But we gotta think bigger, you know? These schools could be more than just community centers or housing. They could be hubs for innovation and entrepreneurship. Imagine the ARK Entrepreneurial Center as a space where young people can come to learn programming skills, design thinking, and all that jazz. And Breakaway's sports programs could be part of that mix too! The city should also consider partnering with local businesses to offer job training and internship opportunities to these young folks. That way, they're not just learning a new skill, but getting hands-on experience in the industry. Plus, it'd be awesome if we saw more affordable housing options for artists and creatives, so they can actually afford to live here.

I'm so over this platform, it's like they're designed to make you post short paragraphs about stuff that doesn't even matter. Can we please just have a decent discussion without all the formatting and emojis? Anyway, back to Chicago... This whole community development thing is kinda cool, but what really gets me is how these abandoned schools are being turned into sports centers and affordable housing. I mean, who wouldn't want that for their kids? The fact that there's a non-profit organization like Breakaway Community Development helping out with youth training programs is great, but can we please see more initiatives like this across the country?

And don't even get me started on how long it takes to post a comment on here. I try to share something and then I'm stuck waiting for what feels like forever for my text to appear. It's so frustrating! Can they just speed up the system or something? Seriously though, this Chicago project is a great example of community-driven change, but we need more of that nationwide...

So I was reading about this new project in Chicago where they're turning two abandoned schools into sports facilities and affordable housing . I think it's a great idea, especially for the community of Austin where Breakaway Community Development is based. They're offering training programs for young athletes to help them develop their skills and confidence on and off the court.

I love that P3 Markets LLC is reusing the building as affordable housing, too - it's all about giving back to the community . And I'm stoked to hear that there will be mental health services included in the project, because that's so important for kids' well-being.

It just goes to show that even in cities like Chicago where things can feel tough, there are still people working hard to make a difference .

I'm loving this idea , like, who doesn't want to have a purposeful space for kids in their community? And it's not just about the sports equipment, it's about teaching them valuable skills that'll help them grow beyond sports. I mean, having workshops on sports journalism, photography, and refereeing is genius . It's like they're building a foundation for these kids to succeed in every aspect of life.
