South Side Sanctuary Offers Safe Space For The Community
A safe space recently opened at 4702 S. Martin Luther King Drive in Bronzeville, with the intention of fostering a connection to the community. South Side Sanctuary is part of the City of Chicago Department of Planning and Development Public Outdoor Plaza (POP!) program, which is an initiative to revitalize spaces and turn them into gathering places.
