Transforming Abandoned Lots Into Affordable Homes

Transforming Abandoned Lots Into Affordable Homes

Where many people see vacant land, Raul Raymundo sees opportunity. Here’s how he and JPMorgan Chase are creating change.

For decades, Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood struggled with poverty and a shortage of resources. But Pilsen’s downturn spurred innovation among community residents like Raul Raymundo.

In 1990, with just $30,000 in seed money from local religious leaders, Raymundo created The Resurrection Project (TRP). The organization helps transform abandoned lots into affordable housing and hosts workshops on how to build credit and buy property.

Raymundo’s work has not been easy—or cheap. A $7.2 million philanthropic commitment from JPMorgan Chase has lightened the load. And it will help Raymundo and TRP build or preserve more than 150 affordable housing residences throughout the Chicago area.
