history:
The Minnie Street neighborhood in Santa Ana is considered to be one of the most densely populated areas in the United States. Approximately eighty percent (80%) of the residents are Hispanic and twenty percent (20%) are Cambodian. Historically Minnie Street has been known for its high crime rate, devastating poverty, and a High School drop out rate of roughly eighty percent (80%). However, just recently, progress is being made. The residents are taking action. The Lighthouse Learning Center is the result of months of research and discussions between the community and Mariners Church. The center is the first step in helping the people of Minnie Street realize their dreams and hopes for the future.
