As the city's plan to improve Kensington continues, some community organizers say the city needs to include their voices and input in order to really make a difference in the neighborhood. “You can’t really police your way out of this,” Rosalind Pichardo, the project manager for the Sunshine House, a hub for overdose and gun violence prevention services, told NBC10. “You have to make sure that people go into treatment and the resources are available.”
Pichardo believes the missing piece in the city’s plan is the voice of the organizations who’ve been working to provide services in Kensington.
