I observed some vacant lots’ in Pilsen that can obviously be rehabbed and created into a Mental Health Center for Latinos and especially females. I envisioned a center for youth with a gym for the youth to play in with counseling for the youth. I envisioned a music room with music instructors for therapeutic music programs. A garden with nice plants, along with nice landscaping. Benches for the families to wait for their families. I think that Pilsen needs to have someone like Jane Jacobs’, in “Radical Legacy," who can be an advocate planner (Jacobs 2010). They can fight for the rights of the Pilsen community as Jane Jacobs’ discussed in her article, like, neighborhood crime, and environmental racism and underfunded schools, and health care.
The Pilsen community has several centers for families, like Gas Hill, and El Valor Guadalupe Reyes Children and Family Center that is a center that has services of Head Start, Early Head Start, After School Youth Enrichment and University Programs. What happen to mental health services?
