Separate Worlds By: Kevin Jachim
Asset Mapping • Full community effort • Sustainability • Co-creators • Co-learners • Empowerment • Not for one, but for all • Resources working together
Dubuque Community • Predominately white • Middle-class • Catholic • Working white-collar • Stuck in the past • Individualized
Colleges • Loras College • Community oriented • Library • Costly • University of Dubuque • Clarke University • NICC
Hospitals • Finley Hospital • Cancer Center • Cardiovascular Center • Diabetes Center • Maternity/Nutrition Services • Mercy Hospital • Healthcare Center • Autism Center • Joint Care Services • Emergency Services
Latino Community • Low Class • Poverty • Fear of the unknown • Dedicated to improve lifestyle and conditions • Diversity within community • Affected by the opinion of others on immigration • Group oriented
Downtown Resources Multicultural Family Center Crescent Health Center St. Raphael Cathedral & St. Patrick Church Hispanic Ministries Public Library City Hall
Public Transportation • “The Jule” • Delayed • Reliability Issues • Time Consuming
Separate Worlds • Boundaries • Ability to WANT to move forward • Improvements in areas: • Public transportation • Renovate buildings • Groups working together • Asset Map Web connections
Conclusion • Asset mapping does not work in Dubuque • Separate communities with too many differences • Two different worlds • Not working together • Could turn around • Community change/group identity • Latino community struggling to make a name for themselves • Entire community needs to put forth the effort
