Open Gates, Inc. Donates $2.85 Million to Paul's Place, Inc. in Form of Building and Cash Grant

According to the 2000 Census, Washington Village/Pigtown has the seventh largest concentration of urban poverty in the nation. The majority of residents are living in extreme poverty due to the decline in industrial jobs and the influx of illegal drugs in the early 70's. Individuals residing in this neighborhood struggle daily to satisfy basic survival needs, and to improve skills that can better their lives such as education, job training and access to healthcare.
