Roger Klose Dear Family and Support Services Senior Center programs, as I

understand it, the City of Chicago strictly prohibits using the work place

to participate in any political activities. My proposal is for a volunteer led

group of seniors at a senior center to study current events. This begs

the question - is the Senior Center a work place? I know there are many

points of view regarding most local, state and national events. The

group would try to explore and present the different sides of every issue

up for discussion and encourage participants to discuss their ideas

about what they might responsibly do about their stand on the issue. So

the question is, are senior citizens discouraged from participating in a

group like this or is this a citizen education group promoting participation

in our democratic process? Perhaps unknown to me there are already

such groups currently up and running? Please give me some guidance

on this subject.

Dawn Kosiek If possible could you email me an email address of one of your Case

Managers who would be able to help an individual find services who

does not belong to one of the following categories: employment training,

education, substance abuse treatment, mental health care, domestic

violence). I have an education, some further traiining and some housing

however, I require transportation assistance to search for employment

and the only programs I have found are only specifically designed for

individuals who have substance abuse problems, a lack of education,

domestic violence issues, criminal backgrounds, etc.. I am not part of

those groups and I still need transportation assistance to find a job. Are

there any programs for just regular people out of work whose

unemployment benefits were cut because of an unemployment rate

quota. Please see attached resume. I have an education and some

training in different fields however the programs I have found do not

focus on regular individuals, only people with substance abuse

problems, a lack of education, domestic violence issues,etc.. WIA

provided some training for me however now I require transportation

assistance to get to the job until I receive a first paycheck. I was told

WIA only provides help with the training part. (CDL grant). Do you have

an email address to one of the case managers at the below location

whom I could ask these questions to via email? And if they are able to

help, I could schedule an in person interview with them. I do not want to

wait all day at the office when it is crowded only to be told they only

assist individuals who : Do not have a college education, Have

substance abuse problems, Have no training, Have domestic violence

issues, Have a criminal background, Have children and need help

supporting them while they go back to school, etc… I spent a week at a

program designed for the above groups. Their curriculum and guidelines

were only for those specific groups, not just a regular citizen in need of

transportation assistance until they receive a first paycheck.

area have made several calls to the city in with concerns regards to the

animals, the neglect, the mess and the smell. My neighbors and I have

experienced a rat problem because of the state of the yard is kept with

garbage and feces all over. The residents have livestock, four chickens

and 2 goats living in the yard that are being neglected (already 3

chickens have died in their care.) I have seen multiple citations posted

on the front door since June, yet, the situation continues to get worse. I

want to know why this is. The yard and home are a hazard as well as a

private nuisance. I would need said citations for private nuisance

proceedings to help make this property safe again for the neighborhood.

bono basis.

Greg Will Upon reviewing the documents, I have a few questions about

documents that appear to be missing from the response. I am asking

about these in case there may be such documents that you would be

able to provide.1) In the Fiscal Year 2013 Head Start and Early Head

Start Grant Application under Section 4, Training and Technical

Assistance Plan, instead of a plan there is a note saying “The Training

and Technical Assistance Plan will be submitted by September 14,

2012.” It doesn’t appear that I received the plan. I am asking, if the plan

has in fact been completed and submitted, that a copy be provided to

me.2) In the letters of certification and policy committee membership

roster, several delegate agencies appear to be missing. These are the

ones I noted in a check against the grant application:- Ada S. McKinley

Community Services- Chicago State University- Firman Community

Services- Healing Temple of God in Christ- Henry Booth House-

Lutheran Social Services of Illinois- North Avenue Day Nursery- Trinity

Resources Unlimited- Trinity UCC- YMCA Metro Chicago. It is possible

of these documents be provided to me. Once again, I very much

appreciate the work you and your colleagues have already done on this

request. I hope these few outstanding matters are relatively easy and

Delilah johnson I would like the City of Chicago to forward me records concerning the

amount of welfare benefits that its various public agencies have

released to undocumented immigrants for the last fiscal period. If

possible, please include those granted exemptions for "migrant" or

"refugee" status. I am concerned about this matter because there have

been many complaints from American citizens about the lengthy and

extensive process they have to go through to receive benefits

(background checks, bank account records, property records, etc) while

it seems that those who are coming from a foreign country don't have to

endure such a process. Thank you

for-Art commission, "Reaching Children/Touching People," a 38- foot-

long by 8-foot-high acrylic paint mural by prominent African- American

artist William Walker, was evidently destroyed. The City had

commissioned a conservator, Cynthia Kuniej-Berry, to restore the mural

in 1989. (About a decade later--the exact date is unknown--the mural

was no longer extant.)

of Family and Support Services for the past years. Specifically, I’d like a

providers are in the city, how many kids they serve, and how or whether

those numbers have changed over the years. If DFSS already has this

kind of breakdown available in the form of annual reports on Head Start

and Early Head Start that could work in lieu of producing new records,

please let me know where I could find them. However, if you have this

information available in electronic format (spreadsheets, Excel, .csv) I’d

number employed and retention rates in Workforce Development. I saw

in the 2019-2020 CDBG RFP, it stated "In 2017, roughly 440 individuals

received support through this program. Out of those, 59% remained

employed for one month, and 28% remained employed for three

months. Additionally, out of those placed in jobs after the program, 92%

John Andersen Hi, I opened the 2011 City of Chicago Domestic Violence Help Line

highlight report and noticed the chart at the end, which listed median

victim information. I pulled up the full report 2011 City of Chicago

Domestic Violence Help Line full report as suggested by the highlight

report. I couldn't find a breakdown of either referrals to police and

shelter requests broken down by gender. It would be interesting to

learn what the resolution was for the shelter requests as well. Were

men in particular able to find shelter services?

I would think it would be difficult to assess whether any groups were

falling through the cracks when it comes to services without that

information. I'm sort of surprised it's not already available. I also

understand the help line is run by the Chicago Metropolitan Battered

Womens Network. Words matter. When someone uses a gendered

term in their organizations name, implicit bias is a concern.

writing this letter in response to your latest correspondence, which I

have read through. I am contacting you to file an appeal to the records

request I had submitted with your offices dealing with the requirements

of the Jeanne Ann Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and

Campus Crime Statistics Act . Please be advised that I have concerns

about your response. Specifically, I am concerned about your failure to

promptly disclose records detailing (1) the undergraduate, graduate and

law schools you have previously attended and visited; (2) the time, the

place and the manner in which you were first informed about the rape

and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery. As a representative of the media and

a member of the general public, I am worried about the manner in which

I have come to be informed about the requirements of the Jeanne Ann

Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime

Statistics Act. In hindsight, I am also worried about the manner in which

I have come to be informed about the brutal rape and murder of Jeanne

Ann Clery on April 1986. As a representative of the media and a

member of the general public, I cannot recall any incident of rape and

murder, which has had a more profound and devastating impact on

American society and post-secondary education than that of Jeanne

Ann Clery in the past 40 years. As a representative of the media and a

member of the general public, I feel comfortable asserting that not much

is known about Jeanne Ann Clery except what is told about her through

others. Specifically, not much is known about what she thought of

issues dealing with chauvinism, discrimination, misogyny, racism, and

sexism. Please be advised that I have concerns about several reports,

which mention the requirements of the Jeanne Ann Clery Disclosure of

this I request a waiver of all fees associated with this request. To the

extent you intend to assess any charges, please notify me to discuss

reproduction costs at a later time, or treat the request as unduly

burdensome.
