OUR ROOTS
HACE, a community economic development corporation, was founded in 1982 to save a crucial neighborhood mall in the heart of Philadelphia's Latino community. Now vibrant, the HACE Mall on "El Centro de Oro"--the North Fifth Street cluster of key Latino neighborhood businesses and cultural institutions--is home to and has housed, key health and community service providers and local businesses.
Building on HACE's success, in 1995, neighborhood residents helped HACE create a ten year, $70 million community development and investment plan. The plan targets the Fairhill and St. Hugh neighborhoods in Eastern North Philadelphia.
