      abstract = {With the growing “beautification” and development of  Chicago neighborhoods, many communities in the north and  west sides have begun to lose their people and identity.  This analysis aims to understand how Chicago’s  community-based organizations, CBOs, within Logan Square  and Pilsen have attempted to combat the effects of  gentrification on their neighborhoods. This topic is  important to consider in order to understand how different  organizations have approached the issues of displacement  and identity-loss and what efforts they have made in order  to mitigate, combat, or reverse them. By utilizing a  mixed-methods approach, I find that the role of a CBO is to  provide residents with goods and services they cannot get  otherwise, keeping residents informed on the on-goings of  their neighborhoods, and creating a space where residents  can not only express their opinions on those changes but  also learn how to best navigate around them. Thus, it is  recommended that local governments work closer with CBOs in  order to support their work and to gain a deeper  understanding of the concerns of the residents.},
