Mission: Inquilinos Boricuas en Accion (IBA) is a dynamic community building agency dedicated to increasing the social and economic power of individuals and families through education, economic development, technology and arts programming that builds safe, vibrant and culturally diverse affordable housing communities. History The predominantly Puerto Rican residents of Parcel 19, a South End community whose existence was threatened by urban renewal, established IBA in 1968. Rallying to the cry, "No nos mudaremos de la Parcela 19" ("We shall not be moved from Parcel 19"), the residents conducted a multi-year campaign that won them the right to control the redevelopment process of their community. The result was the creation of Villa Victoria, a 765-unit low and moderate-income neighborhood which today houses more than 3,000 residents. IBA is proud to be considered one of the most successful community development models in the United States and was recently honored by the Fannie Mae Foundation's Awards for Affordable Housing Excellence. Target Population Inquilinos Boricuas En Accion's primary target population is the residents of Villa Victoria-a predominantly Latino (72%) affordable housing community of 3000 residents in the South End of Boston. In this community, 80% of residents live at or below the national poverty level with an average gross family income of $16,286; almost 50% of residents are 21 years old or younger and 77% of households are headed by women.
