Kensington’s quality-of-life issues are often the center of local, national, and international news coverage about the neighborhood.
While highlighting Kensington’s challenges is critical to democracy, many stories often overshadow news and information about organizations and groups working to improve the quality of life for people in and around the neighborhood.
