ENLACE is an initiative that, in partnership with the organized communities represented by the G-8, Inc., the Caño Martín Peña Community Land Trust, the private sector and the government authorities, promotes an inclusive city. Building upon the capacities of the 27,000 residents in eight densely populated communities initially developed as squatters along the Caño Martin Peña, ENLACE seeks to overcome poverty, and attain social and environmental justice. By addressing major environmental degradation issues, it promotes safer and healthier communities and a restored San Juan Bay Estuary System.
