<div dir="ltr">Loisaida is the spainglish word for "Lower East Side". It is a project in lower Manhattan from 14th Street to Houston St. and from Avenue A to the East River. The project was led by a group of community residence and ICA affiliated colleagues. That group was called Challenge (for Those Who Dare). Challenge's initial members were Dora Collazo-Levy, Sara Philips and Sr. Elizabeth Kelliher. The group grew to include many more. They met every Wed. evening at the NY House in Loisaida for planning and study. Some of the Loisaida accomplishments/services were:</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"> *NENA Health clinic on 3rd St between Ave B and Ave. C.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"> * Loisaida Employment Project , where we worked with a number of community members to train them in how to go to job interviews; matched up job openings with community members and went to their apartments early in the morning once they got jobs to make sure that they were up and getting dressed for work.
