| Overview
|
| San Antonio College (SAC) intends to use its Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant to build neighborhood capacity and economic development/revitalization efforts in three communities surrounding SAC’s campus through construction/establishment of a multipurpose community facility. The “EcoCentro” will provide free meeting/office space for neighborhood associations and a variety of free/low-cost workshops to equip residents with knowledge to improve their homes/community. Training in green sector skills/historic renovation will prepare residents for jobs in emerging markets. The EcoCentro will provide: up to 19 free or low-cost workshops that focus on a variety of home safety, historic renovation, and sustainable home improvement topics, including weatherization, lead paint hazards, xeriscaping, and historic window repair; employment training for high-demand jobs in emerging industries, including “green” building and historic renovation; and student volunteer recruitment to benefit the surrounding target area. In addition, EcoCenter personnel will refer participants to SAC’s HSIAC-funded Seguir Adelante and Mi CASA Centers for pre-college and housing or jobs preparation assistance.
