How we Began
The West Englewood United Organization was established in 1983 from a collaboration
neighborhood block clubs. Our joint effort was initiated by our mutual concern
and regard for the Englewood and West Englewood communities and to abate the fast
growing deterioration of the communities.

Clara's House and Clara's Place – continue to be havens for abused and homeless women and children. It’s a role they have been playing in Chicago's struggling Englewood community for over 22 years.
“Battered women have come [to the shelter] cut up, shot up, beat up,” said Kirk, a petite woman whose passion for her work often brings her to the point of tears. “There are women that live here that lost their jobs and don't have money. I can't put babies in the street.”
