| Centro Pedro Claver was founded by Father David
Ungerleider, S.J. and was an outgrowth of work
by the volunteer organization The Puerto Rican
Alliance. The Alliance was a civil rights organization
from the Franklinville Community. |
|
 |
| For over two decades El Centro has responded
to an array of neighborhood needs and local issues.
In 1983 Centro was among the first agencies in
the targeted community to establish a housing
counseling model. |
|
 |
| Fundemental issues including those relating to
urban environment development was assumed by El
Centro to be basic but important quality of life
issues. Neighborhood lot and street cleaning projects
and the sponsorship and building of a neighborhood
plaza and playgrouond are all illustrations of this
work. |
