Englewood groups are converting the closed CPS Granville Woods Math and Science Academy into a resource center for the formerly incarcerated.
Granville Woods Math and Science Academy has been empty for 10 years. Windows are boarded up, grass is overgrown, graffiti mars the outside walls and inside there are exposed wires and a partially collapsed ceiling.
The school served as a neighborhood anchor for Stevens' family and so many others. Now Cecile DeMello and Asiaha Butler hope the 6,000 square foot building can once again serve as a community center. "If they don't have the housing to support their families, sometimes it makes the process harder of being able to be a stronger father or mother in their children's lives."
