LOCAL Closer Look: Project H.O.O.D. Serving Chicago

Posted on Sunday, January 2, 2022 by Rafael Sierra Jr.

Rafael Sierra talks with Pastor Corey Brooks, Founder & CEO of Project H.O.O.D., Helping Others Obtain Destiny, serving Chicago, IL. Brooks is an advocate for peace and works to end poverty and street violence, particularly in Chicago’s Woodlawn community. Brooks described his unique approach for his advocacy, once sleeping on top of an abandoned hotel known for criminal activity to raise awareness and stop the violence. His latest mission involves braving the cold and sleeping on top of storage containers to raise awareness and build a new community center in Woodlawn.
