Programa de reparación de calefacción de emergencia Cada año, la ciudad de Chicago ofrece una subvención a los propietarios de viviendas a través del Programa de reparación de calefacción de emergencia. Las propiedades elegibles deben estar ubicadas en Chicago, ser habitables, ocupadas por sus propietarios y no estar en riesgo de ejecución hipotecaria. Este es un programa de servicio de una sola vez para viviendas unifamiliares, de una a cuatro unidades y propiedades ocupadas por sus propietarios ubicadas en la ciudad de Chicago. Cualquier propiedad ocupada por el propietario que haya recibido este servicio en el pasado no será elegible para recibir el servicio nuevamente. Los hogares que ganan el 80% o menos del ingreso medio del área (AMI) son elegibles para participar en el programa. Se incluirá el ingreso bruto total de todos los propietarios y otros miembros del hogar y no podrá exceder este límite. Los ingresos brutos de todos los adultos, mayores de 18 años, que residen en la propiedad se incluyen para determinar la elegibilidad de ingresos. Si el propietario vende, transfiere el título o ya no ocupa la unidad dentro de un año de la concesión, el propietario deberá pagar el saldo del préstamo desde el momento de la transferencia hasta la fecha de finalización del período del préstamo. Los solicitantes pueden descargar el paquete de solicitud y ver los requisitos de elegibilidad en el sitio web del Departamento de Planificación y Desarrollo.

Programa de acera de costo compartido El Programa de Costos Compartidos para Aceras ofrece una oportunidad para que los propietarios / ocupantes compartan el costo de reemplazar las aceras con la Ciudad. Este programa voluntario permite a los residentes reemplazar las aceras a un costo mucho menor que si contrataran a un contratista privado. El programa cubre el paseo principal, el paseo de cortesía y las pasarelas / escalones de descanso existentes (la estrecha franja de hormigón adyacente a algunos bordillos). A los propietarios-ocupantes de las casas de esquina se les cobrará tanto por el lado principal (dirección) como por la acera del lado de la casa. El CDOT construirá rampas que cumplan con la ADA cuando corresponda, y la Ciudad pagará el costo total de las rampas. El Programa de Acera de Costos Compartidos es muy popular y se maneja por orden de llegada cuando el programa se abre en enero. Los fondos son limitados y el programa cierra durante el año una vez que se asignan los fondos. El Departamento de Transporte generalmente anuncia cuándo se abrirá el programa a mediados de diciembre. Esté atento a mi boletín electrónico semanal y este sitio web para ese anuncio. Tenga en cuenta que si solicitó el programa en años anteriores, debe volver a solicitarlo cuando vuelva a abrir. Las solicitudes solo se aceptarán a través del sistema 311 de la ciudad o en el sitio web de Shared Cost Sidewalk de la ciudad. La información del propietario y la dirección de la propiedad deben proporcionarse en el momento de la solicitud. Más información sobre el programa está disponible haciendo clic aquí .

City Council Redistricting Updates May 14, 2022 After months at stalemate, your City Council has drafted a new city ward map with the necessary support to pass. We held a subject matter hearing on the map which was released earlier this week. We will vote on the map during a special City Council Meeting on Monday at 11:30am. You can watch the meeting live via ChiCityClerk.com. There is also room for limited in person attendance and you can find info about attending in person on the Clerk's site as well. The proposed 49th ward won't have many changes at all. We maintain the same borders with the 48th and 50th wards that we've had for the previous decade and take on a small portion of the 40th ward that squares off our southwest corner, extending us to Clark St. and Devon Ave and will fully enclose the Rogers Park neighborhood in the 49th Ward. The remapping process has been a daunting one to navigate and there is much to improve on the public engagement side of it. The Peoples' Map process and commissioner process has shown us what robust community engagement can look like and I believe that City Council should follow their example in redesigning our process. I was happy to encourage our residents' participation in the Peoples' Map process and to take input from it in working on our ward map. Not all alderpersons did this. Maybe we can change our or process to require it. Despite the flaws, I still stand by my statements that the redistricting process through the Rules Committee has been the most collaborative exercises that I've experienced in City Council so far. Thank you to everyone who met with me, attended meetings, sent in map drafts and shared feedback with my office. I look forward to continue pushing your City Council to be more accountable, transparent and ethical. You may view the updated Chicago United map on the Committee on Rules' My Districting Tool website by clicking here . December 17, 2021 The Committee on Committees and Rules will host a series of public hearings on the City Council's redistricting process in January. The hearings are scheduled for: Thursday, January 6, at 10 am Tuesday, January 11, at 1 pm Thursday, January 14, at 10 am Friday, January 21, at 10 am Residents may submit written feedback ahead of a public hearing. Written feedback should be submitted via email to committeeoncommitteesandrules@cityofchicago.org . Specific deadlines for public comment will be detailed on the notices for the meetings, which are available to view on the City's Legistar website. Additionally, residents can sign up to speak during the public comment period at a hearing. To sign up for the public comment period, individuals should call 312-744-6800 and leave a voice message with their name and telephone number. Requests for public comments are accepted from 12:01 am the Monday before the scheduled meeting until 8 am on the day before the scheduled meeting. Anyone who wants to participate in the public comment period must be available at 10 am on the day of the meeting and have access to a touch-tone telephone. More information on how to sign up for public comments for a committee meeting is available on the City Clerk's website. Finally, you can stream the public hearing on the City Clerk's website at chicityclerk.com . December 6, 2021 On Wednesday, December 1, Chairman Michele Harris of the Committee on Committee and Rules introduced a proposed ward map , just meeting the December 1 deadline to introduce an ordinance. The map(s) in question: The map introduced by Chairman Harris is the product of 36 members of the City Council who signed on to the Committee's remapping process, which is the same process that has been used in previous redistricting processes. The proposed map includes 16 Black wards (decreasing by 2), 14 Latinx wards (increasing by 1), 15 white wards, 4 plurality wards, and 1 Asian ward (for the first time ever). In October, the Latino Caucus unveiled their own proposed map , which includes 15 Latinx wards (increasing by 2), 16 Black wards (decreasing by 2), 15 white wards, 3 plurality wards, and 1 Asian ward (for the first time ever). Another map that has been in discussion is the Peoples Map . The Peoples Map is an effort that was spearheaded by Change Illinois to have Chicagoans draw maps in an effort to take some of the politics out of the process. The coalition formed a commission and held public meetings to gain input and feedback on how the new map should be drawn. So what now? While the map was introduced this week, no vote was taken. Chairman Harris has called for additional public hearings on the proposed map in the coming weeks and months to solicit further feedback from City Council and the public. Public hearings will begin next week in the Committee on Rules, recess through the holidays, then resume in January. City Council has up until 40 days before the primary election in June to ratify a new ward boundary map. If City Council fails to pass a map, any 10 members of the City Council may file a petition to have their proposed map included as a ballot referendum. That petition must also be filed at least 40 days before the primary in June. Between now and the primary in June, 10 aldermen could file a petition with the Office of the City Clerk calling for a referendum. On Thursday, the Latino Caucus filed a petition with City Clerk Anna Valencia to have the new boundaries determined by ballot referendum during the Primary Election in June. However, if 41 aldermen vote on a map before the primary, it would nullify the referendum, and the new map would be codified. If City Council votes on the map, it would need at least 41 votes to ensure that it doesn't go to a ballot referendum (the map only requires 26 votes to pass and 34 votes to avoid a veto by the mayor). Should less than 41 aldermen vote to approve the map, 10 aldermen could file a petition with the Office of the City Clerk to have the item go before voters as a ballot referendum. They would be required to file the petition within 15 days of the passage of a map in accordance with state statute , and they cannot also vote in favor of the map during the City Council meeting. How can I submit feedback? The map introduced by Chairman Harris is available to review by clicking here . The Committee on Committees and Rules has also created a website , where the map is available to review. Residents may use a redistricting tool housed on the website to create and submit their own ward maps for consideration. Residents may submit written feedback ahead of a public hearing. Written feedback should be submitted via email to: committeeoncommitteesandrules@cityofchicago.org . Specific deadlines for public comment will be detailed on the notices for the meetings, which are available to view on the City's Legistar website . Finally, residents can sign up to speak during the public comment period at a hearing. To sign up for the public comment period, individuals should call 312-744-6800 and leave a voice message with their name and telephone number. Requests for public comments are accepted from 12:01 am the Monday before the scheduled meeting until 8 am on the day before the scheduled meeting. Anyone who wants to participate in the public comment period must be available at 10 am on the day of the meeting and have access to a touch-tone telephone. More information on how to sign up for public comments for a committee meeting is available on the City Clerk's website . When are the next hearings? Per conversations with the Committee on Rules, there will be two hearings next week. Tuesday, December 7, at 3 pm; and Friday, December 10, at 1 pm. Written public comments can be submitted to Michelle.Evans@cityofchicago.org until 10 am the day before each hearing. Official notices of the public hearing containing information on how to submit written comments are available on the City's Legistar website . The future of remapping: One of the frequent comments heard throughout this process was that it lacked transparency. While the Peoples Map solved the most significant issue of Chicago's remapping process by bringing more participation and transparency to the process, the coalition failed to include the input of alderpeople in guiding the process. Alderpeople have a unique lens into their wards that go beyond politics. Alderpeople have historical context for communities and their different needs, they're aware of infrastructure and development projects in the pipeline, and they have connections to city services. The redistricting process has been the most collaborative process that City Council has undertaken this term, and a part of what guided that process was the unique lens that alderpeople have into their communities. The solution to creating better processes and more transparency around redistricting would be a marriage of the two. The redistricting process has been a learning experience; I will take the feedback and what I learned to work with the Committee on Committee and Rules to improve the process and make it more participatory and transparent for the public.

Y todas las personas tienen derechos legales en los Estados Unidos, incluidos los inmigrantes indocumentados. Es importante que los inmigrantes indocumentados conozcan sus derechos si ICE llama a su puerta. A continuación, se incluyen algunos materiales informativos para ayudarlo a comprender sus derechos en estas situaciones.

For more information on ICIRR's hotline go to icirr.org/fsn . Here’s how you can stay informed and help others: Understand ICE Tactics: ICE often carries out operations early in the morning, targeting people as they leave for work or take their children to school. They may also set up traffic stops, visit workplaces, or go to people’s homes. Even if someone is not the primary target, ICE has historically detained others who are present. Know Your Rights: Every person in the U.S. has constitutional protections, and knowing how to exercise those rights can make all the difference in a moment of interaction with ICE: You do NOT have to open your door unless ICE presents a warrant signed by a judge. ICE forms are not signed by judges and do not grant permission to enter your home. If you come into contact with ICE officers, stay calm, do not run, and do not provide information about your immigration status. Do not sign anything you don’t understand, and do not provide false documents. If you are questioned, you can calmly state that you wish to speak with a lawyer before proceeding. Create a Safety Plan: Planning ahead is essential. Make sure your family has emergency contact information, and ensure schools or daycare centers have updated contact details for emergencies Get Prepared! WBEZ put together a helpful article on what Chicago Public Schools, parents or guardians, and students can do, including how to talk to children about the chances of Federal Immigration Officers in Chicago. A reminder that CPS does not allow immigration agents into schools without a warrant.
