BLDD worked closely with the City of Chicago, the Department of Housing and Economic Development as well as the neighborhood and its Aldermen to bring the facility to life quickly for the community, to act as a ray of hope within the community.
The church won a Good Neighbor Award for its achievement in enhancing the Chicago region as a great place to live and thrive. The awards showcase groundbreaking new, rehabbed, or redeveloped properties in the Chicago metropolitan region that have increased economic vibrancy and bolstered neighborhood pride.
