The following is an excerpt from our partner’s press release.
Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción (IBA) today announced a $3 million transformational grant from the Yawkey Foundation to support plans to build La CASA: The Center for Arts, Self-determination, and Activism. IBA’s La CASA, once complete, will be New England’s largest Latinx arts, culture, and neighborhood community center. As a major Latinx-led nonprofit in New England, IBA is creating La CASA to expand its comprehensive approach to addressing inequities through a wide range of programs and services that empower and uplift our community. La CASA will be home to IBA’s bilingual youth development, financial empowerment, resident services, and arts programs, as well as its administrative and property management offices.
