Mayor outlines plans for Austin in last year of term

Brandon Johnson on successes in his neighborhood during his time as mayo

By JESSICA MORDAC Staff Reporter

Brandon Johnson was mayor of Chicago on May 15, 2023. Now in the final year of his term, spoke with Austin Weekly News “favorite local publication,” about recent successes in the neighborhood where he lives and his goals over the next 12 months re nomic development, housing and crim

One way Johnson’s administration has funneled money into Austin throughout his term is with a $1.25 billion housing and economic development bond, funded by low-income housing tax credits and Tax Increment Financing, federal and state grants and private funding.

The Austin HOPE Center — a $22 million project at 5046 W. Chicago open this summer as the first behavioral health and pediatric specialty facility on the West Side — was nearly one-quarter funded by the bond, and the first project in Chicago that used the bond money.

And last May, the city completed nearly $9 million of improvements on

Chicago Avenue between Austin Boulevard and Central Avenue — the first part of construction completed on Soul City Corridor. In the last year, locals have enjoyed wider sidewalks, more lighting, new trees and landscaping, raised bike lanes, crosswalks and resurfaced roads.

“This type of development that you’re seeing along Chicago Avenue is unprecedented,” Johnson said. “I want folks to know that that’s not happening by accident. Those are intentional investments.

Before they founded Catalyst Circle Rock charter school 20 years ago in Austin, Ed Siderewicz and Gordon Hannon were both Christian Brothers, part of a Roman Catholic religious order that dedicates itself to education, particularly for the under privileged. The Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools was founded in 1680 in France by Saint John Baptist de La Salle, a priest who created schools to offer free education to the poor

“Though it has Catholic Christian roots out of 17th century France, [Lasallian schools] exist in very non-Christian countries today.

West Side artists launch rst ever

Douglass Park Kite Festival

Fest will be held May 30 on the south side of the park, near soccer elds

By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

A group of West Side arts organizations are working with Chicago Park District, Riot Fest and the Mayor’s Office of Community Safety to hold what they hope will become the first of the many Douglass Park Art Festivals to come.

The event is the brainchild of Lawndale Pop-Up Spot co-founder Jonathan Kelley artist and Art West gallery founder Alexie Young, with One Lawndale Arts & Activism Incubator. It will be held May 30 at the Douglass Park Soccer Field, near the southwest corner of California and Ogden avenues from noon to 4 p.m. Kite al is free and public, ttendees can own simply pull lanket and enjoy the views. Austin eekly News the estival ame from an exibit the museum pring of 2023, oung organized Black Plant-It Herbal Exhibit. Pop-Up Spot usually organizes events around exhibits, and, in this case, one of those events was a Fly Kite Fest.

“We had a handful of people come, and a handful of kites,” Kelley recalled He and Young wanted to do something like that on a larger scale, with more participation. The trick was finding enough space to accommodate that vision. The pieces fell into place when Shandrel Starks became the new Douglass Park supervisor.

“We off-handedly mentioned to her that one of the things we’d love to do at Douglass Park is a kite festival,” Kelley recalled.

To their pleasant surprise, she was on board.

“For myself, there is something very symbolic about kites as symbols of freedom, and being able to have, like, a lightness, a lightness and flight, pure joy,” Kelley responded “When it does go up, and a wind catches it, it just feels very fun and joyous.”

He reflected that, when he brought up the idea to others, they tended to smile wistfully

and get nostalgic about flying kites as kids Kelly also noted that, on the South Side, Bronzeville Kite Day has been a long-time tradition. Having personally attended it, he was all the more determined to bring that kind of a joyful experience to North Lawndale

“West Side deserves all of that and more,” Kelley said.

Lawndale Pop-Up Spot held a free kitemaking workshop last Saturday, May 23. Kelley said that the Mayor’s Office will have a “limited number” of free kites available on a first-come, first serve basis.

Red Line Service, an art organization founded by artists who experienced homelessness, will bring their “Puppet-of-care”

-- a 12-foot puppet created in 2024 to inspire the audience to “to think about ways that art might be used to activate communities across class, culture and identities, so that all are welcomed in public space.” There will be free food, music and some “art-making activities.”

“Hopefully, it catches on and we can continue it for years to come,” Kelley said.

West Side collaboration blends mental health and physical care

Collaborative Bridges and PCC team up in West Gar eld

By ETHAN TUCKER Contributing Reporter

“Your health should not depend on your ZIP code,” said PCC Community Health Center CEO Alyssa Sianghio during remarks at the grand opening of PCC’s new health center on May 19.

Community members toured the new West Garfield Park facility, 4421 W. Lake St. It was developed through a partnership between PCC and Collaborative Bridges to help address longstanding healthcare inequities on the West Side, including an 18-year life expectancy gap between West Garfield Park and Lincoln Park residents. Issues of both mental health and physical will be addressed at the facility.

“We’ve talked about the difference between someone living in West Garfield Park and someone living in Lincoln Park,” said Alderman Jason Ervin of the 28th ward. “It’s almost an 18-year difference in life expectancy in a place 2.5 miles away.”

JOINED FORCES: PCC and Collaborative Bridges came together to build out this Lake St reet facility.

Breakthrough expands mission with family housing on West Side

The organization’s latest project aims to suppor t working families experiencing housing instability

By HECTOR CERVANTES Contributing Reporter

After more than a decade of planning, research and community input, Breakthrough’s new family housing building, The Residences at 3340 W. Carroll Ave. in East Garfield Park, offers 14 affordable twoand three-bedroom units designed to provide stability, comfort and a strong sense of community for families.

Breakthrough in the East Garfield Park neighborhood works with local residents to address poverty and strengthen community stability through services including housing and homelessness support, among other core programs

Cheron Massonburg, Breakthrough’s chief program officer of housing, health and wellness and community economic development, said the project was inspired by the organization’s recognition that many families needed a different type of housing than what it had previously been able to provide

“We realized there were families doubling up, lacking credit and unable to secure apartments of their own. We knew more needed to be done and this project became a way to address that need,” Massonburg said.

The building is designed to serve families, primarily those with young children, and includes amenities such as an indoor play space and an outdoor playground for children under five. Eligibility requires a leaseholder over the age of 25 with children, who is either employed or enrolled in a trade program expected to be completed within two years of residency.

The program aims to support families in achieving stability and eventually transitioning into homeownership or independent leasing. The development includes 14 units in total, four three-bedroom units and 10 twobedroom units with occupancy limits of up

looked details reflect needs that many people with stable housing don’t even have to consider,” Massonburg said.

She said the apartments are fully move-in ready, with furnished spaces that include essentials like beds, sofas, and televisions, so families do not have to worry about securing basic household items. The goal is to remove those immediate burdens so they can focus on their progress over the next two years and ultimately graduating from the program.

Spacious two and three bedroom units.

“Over 10 years ago, it was just a thought. It was an idea that we researched and surveyed to determine our readiness as an organization and the community’s readiness for a project like this,” Massonburg said.

Breakthrough had long provided homeless services for single men and women, but staff at its women’s center began noticing that families were also seeking support and needed services the organization was not yet able to offer.

to six people in three-bedroom units and four people in two-bedroom units.

“There is a level of compassion and dignity, where families moving in won’t even have to think about basic essentials like bedding because everything has already been prepared for them. The beds are made upon arrival and starter kits with items such as dishes are provided. These small, often over-

When asked how Breakthrough’s mission and core values shaped the design and operation of the building, Massonburg said the organization was very intentional about staying true to what it is as an organization.

“People first, and of course God at the very top of that,” Massonburg said, adding that the goal was to create a communal space with structure built into it.

Residents will have access to a wide range of supportive services beyond housing, including financial coaching, community health, work programs, peer support, behavioral health services, and case management, along with food assistance through a nearby pantry. They will also be able to utilize additional resources such as parenting support and a preschool program located nearby

Breakthrough currently works with several families who are already enrolled in the program or have children participating

in it and the organizations hope to reach additional families so they can be connected to and benefit from the same program opportunities for their children as well.

Massonburg said one of the main challenges in bringing the project to life was ensuring the program was not limited by a “chronically homeless” designation, which would have excluded individuals and families who were doubled up or working but not leaseholders. Removing that restriction allowed the program to serve a broader range of people in need of stable housing.

“Our goal was to allow individuals the opportunity who may not be chronically homeless but are still experiencing homelessness because they do not hold a lease in their name,” Massonburg said.

She said the organization’s values of racial justice, restoration, and equity are reflected in its housing work by focusing on fair access to opportunity in neighborhoods like Garfield Park. She added that this commitment is reflected in how the project was developed, including bringing multiple voices to the table during the family interview and selection process.

“The one thing I appreciate about the organization I’ve been with for 26 years is that we generally don’t start a program without first getting information from the community So it’s really based on what the community is saying they need, desire, or want to see,” Massonburg said. And then, as an organization, we try to put our best foot forward to ensure those things happen, especially if they are within our wheelhouse and aligned with our values and mission.”

HEALTH

The center is designed as a “one-stop shop” where residents can access primary care, behavioral health services and other support resources in one location. Patients will be able to receive physicals, routine care and mental health support, while organizers say a pharmacy will eventually be added to the facility

“People don’ t have to use the emergency room as their primary care facility,” said Ervin

A for mer factory building, the new center includes community meeting areas, a computer lab as well as medical facilities.

Healthcare leaders said the center’s inte grated care model is intended to address both physical and behavioral health needs while reducing barriers to care for residents who often struggle to access consistent treatment.

“You can’ t separate behavioral health from physical health,” said Dr. Sabina Wong, the center’s medical director.

Re presentatives from PCC and Collaborative Bridges described the health center as a major investment in a community that has historically experienced disinvestment and limited access to healthcare resources.

“A lot of people that are not insured can use these resources,” said Lakeita Harris, a senior administrator at the center

For many residents and workers, the opening also carried personal significance.

“I’ve been here 52 years, and I watched this building transform from a factory I used to work at to this healthcare place,” said one guest. “I’m very proud of this place.”

Others said having a healthcare facility embedded directly within the neighborhood could help residents feel like their community has real support.

Patrick Dombrowski, executive director of Collaborative Bridges, said the facility was created to support individuals facing severe mental health and substance use challenges who frequently rely on emergency rooms or inpatient psychiatric care.

“Our real charge is working with individuals that have acute behavioral health conditions who are continuously using hospital-based care, emergency rooms or inpatient psych,” Dombrowski said.

“Growing up, we didn’t have a lot of primary care in the neighborhood,” said Traci Carodine, a for mer patient of PCC. “People don’ t know where to go.”

Org anizers said they hope the center will serve as a long-term investment in the health and stability of West Side residents while creating more accessible and community-centered approaches to care.

Judge will rule on West Suburban receivership May 29

Order for third party nancial review will keep case from dragging on for months, judge said

By BRENDAN HEFFERNAN Staff Reporter

The judge overseeing the legal dispute over what entity will be allowed to try and reopen West Suburban Medical Center committed to making his final ruling late this week.

Counsel for the business-partners-turned-legal-foes at the heart ofthe West Suburban Medical Center closure were in court again May 20 with a third party’s review of contested hospital financial records nearing its end. The hearing came after Resilience Healthcare CEO Manoj Prasad and hospital landlord Rathnakar Reddy Patlola filed lawsuits against each other last month, with Patlola seeking a judge’s order that could start the process of reopening West Suburban under new management.

Closing arguments in the case are set for May 29, with Cook County Judge Patrick Stanton set to decide whether he will grant a receivership, taking control ofthe hospital out of Prasad and Resilience’s hands and into the control ofa third party. Patlola’s complaint had named Michael Flanagan, a Kansas City attorney who’s reopened several nursing care facilities around the country through receiverships, as a potential receiver for West Sub and the also-shuttered Weiss Me-

morial in Chicago.

The parties agreed last week to ha Patrick Sherlock review years of bank accounts central to the most-serious alle nancial wrongdoing that Patlola has made Patlola’s legal complaint had accused Prasad of“misappropriating” $10 million in hospital fund

Stanton said the parties agreeing to the audit li dited the legal proceedings by sever

“This normally would take three months, done in one week,” Stanton said.

Attorneys for each party will have arguments during the hearing, Stanton said.

In April, Patlola filed a suit against ofbreach of contract, seeking to reco unpaid rent and fees for Resilience-owned suit claims that Patlola tried to illegally evict him last mont

citing a year-long failure in the hospital’s electronic medical record billing system that resulted in as much as 90% ofit work going unbilled. About two weeks later, some patient services reportedly resumed at West Sub’ according to Prasad.

That’s what drew me to it,” Siderewicz said. Though it’s not a school that teaches religion, Catalyst Circle Rock promotes the Lasallian values of respect, inclusivity, social justice and quality education the everyday lives of over 500 students in kindergarten through eighth grade in its building at Washington and Central.

“Although we don’t have the faith-based component, we do understand that is very important to the work that we here,” said Erika Whitehead, assistant principal at Catalyst Circle Rock. She is succeeding Siderewicz school year when he retires next month as Catalyst Network’s director of mission and external relationships.

“We have faith in our staf f, faith in our scholar faith in the wo that we’re doing, not only to educate our children, also so that they can go out and be change agents, preferably in their communities,” she said.

Siderewicz is transitioning away from his role at Catalyst Circle Rock after 50 years as an educator and nearly 20 years of managing the mission and partnerships for the elementary and middle school at 5608 W. Washington Blvd. and Catalyst Maria High School in Chicago Lawn.

“I’ll miss our students, families and these relationships we’ve developed over the years. Circle Rock’s worked really hard to be a good partner in the community. We’ve worked hard at being part of the community conversations, the quality-of-life plan, the Kehrein Center,” said Siderewicz, who, over several years, helped secure funds to reno Kehrein Center for the Arts auditorium, which is part of the school.

Catalyst Ci rcle Rock at 5608 W. Washington Blvd

will continue the Lasallian legacy he helped bring to Austin.

“It’s something bigger than ourselves,” Siderewicz said. “It’s not about one. It’s about something that brings us together, that power of community.”

Siderewicz said that, when De La Salle started his movement, he took teachers into his home to work with them and train them.

“He saw it wasn’t about him. It is about a gift. … We’re not the owners of it, we’re not the authors of it, we’re the stewards, and Erika was born to do this work,” Siderewicz said. “We really consider our mission our soul. That’s who we are, and it’s also anchored in nearly three-and-a-half-centuries of this way of education.”

Siderewicz plans to help in the transition period while reflecting on his career and spending more time on his hobby of photography, knowing Catalyst Circle Rock staff

“It’s really special here, and the Lasallian legacy is what makes us so special,” Whitehead said. Recently, she joined the Lasallian Education Council for North America, which meets to discuss how to implement Lasallian legacy on individual campuses. “How I have come to it means to be a Lasallian, what it means to be Catalyst, what it means to be truly mission driven, I got all of that from Ed. … It’s what drew a lot of us to Catalyst and keeps a lot of us here,” including past students who are now staff.

Whitehead joined Catalyst as director of

education and, in 2015, became assistant principal of Catalyst Circle Rock. In her current role, she manages many of the school’s external partnerships and programs and, in her new role, hopes to continue building the transformational relationships that Siderewicz has fostered. She also hopes to create new partnerships, all while supporting Catalyst principals and quality education for students.

“This, to me, is a business of service, and our families are our customers,” Whitehead said. “When anyone talks about where they want to send their kids, I want Catalyst to be front of mind for everyone because I truly believe that what we have is so unbelievably and undeniably special.”

History of Catalyst Circle Rock

Inspired by Lasallian teachings, Siderewicz and Hannon — today CEO of the Catalyst Schools — established San Miguel School in the Back of the Yards neighborhood in 1995. With the school’s success, Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan approached the two and asked them to help recreate the transformational Lasallian work they were doing in the public space. That led to a private-public partnership to bring resources to Chicago’s most deserving neighborhoods, like Austin.

In Austin in the 1970s, Glen and Lonni Kehrein bought buildings on nearly the whole city block of where Catalyst Circle

Rock sits today in an ef fort to help heal race relations in Austin. For several years, until 1998, Sisters of Mercy, a congreg ation of Roman Catholic women, ran a Catholic girls’ school out of one of the buildings. Afterwards, Circle Urban Ministries — an organization founded by the Kehreins that addresses systemic challenges on Chicago’s West Side through health, housing and education progr ams — operated a school out of the same building.

Nearly 20 years ago, Circle Urban Ministries asked Siderewicz and Hannon to take over the school, which, “by their own admission, wasn’t their core strength,” Siderewicz said. And so, Catalyst Circle Rock was founded in Austin on Lasallian teachings.

Today, Rock of Our Salvation Church has its services at the Kehrein Center, and Circle Urban Ministries’ building is just north of Catalyst Circle Rock. Also on the block are Thresholds’ mental illnesses and substance use services and the Maryville Academy home for women and children.

“I would love to give gratitude for our campus partners,” Siderewicz said, “and also our Austin community partners, org anizations and leaders who have fought for this community, and gratitude for the wisdom we’ve learned from them, their partnership, their support, who they are and what they’re doing.”

Year three update

We can build a world-class city that includes all of our neighborhoods.”

The housing and economic development bond has also helped finance more af fordable homes in Austin.

Last October, 20 af fordable units opened at 5246 W. Chicago Ave. Austin-based Westside Health Authority bought the building in 2016 and spent $2.5 million on renovations. That was partially paid for by Chicago’s Small Business Improvement Fund. Next month, 51 af fordable and 27 marketrate apar tment units at 5200 W. Chicago Ave. will open. And this year, renovations on the adjacent Laramie State Bank will start, developing the space into a blues music museum, business incubator and cafe. The project is largely funded by the INVEST South/West initiative developed by for mer mayor Lori Lightfoot. TIF funds will be used, too.

Also this year, Habitat for Humanity Chicago will complete its first af fordable homes in Austin.

As more new homes are constructed on the West Side, Johnson is also working to help locals who have lived in their houses for decades — including those who are still dealing with water damage from recordbreaking flooding during the summer of 2023.

The city’s disaster recovery action plan to use recent federal grant money to address flood damage says that, though wards 28, 29, 30, and 37 make up about 9% of Chicago’s population, they g enerated nearly half of flooding re ports after the severe summer storm. On the West Side, storm water needs to travel up to six miles to drain, among the longest distances in the city.

Johnson said it took a while to secure $426 million from the federal government to address remaining flood damage in Austin homes, but combined with $97 million in local funds, West Siders are finally starting to rece ive money after the city’s action plan was approved in Se ptember. While much of the money will fund improvements to maintaining sewer systems and other infrastructur e projects on the West Side, Chicago’s Department of Housing is working with a West Side Long Term Recovery Group to connect with those who have experienced

Mayor Brandon Johnson at a public update meeting for the People’s Plan for Chicago, a strategy to reduce crime and violence in Chicago’s highest-risk communities, at the Moore Park Fieldhouse in 2024.

“Austin played an incredible role in driving the narrative around how beautiful our city is.”

BRANDON JOHNSON Mayor of Chicago and Austinite

Johnson’s administration expanded CARE citywide earlier this month.

Johnson also said Austin has had the highest rate of youth employment during his mayoral term

“It’s going to take all of us to help shift how gover nment responds to communities like Austin, and I’ve been laser focused in ensuring that our young people have opportunities,” Johnson said. “Finally, the way in which I believe we continue to help drive violence down is by investing in our public schools.”

Last year, Johnson released the largest TIF surplus in Chicago history, funneling $500 million into public schools, including those in Austin. Also last year, Austin High School became a sustainable community school, gar nering $500,000 annually to offer more student and family services.

“We’re talking about a school that had been that had been disinvested in over the course of multiple administrations, and instead of a conversation about closure, we’re talking about how we can build up our programming there,” Johnson said.

In the last year of his term, Johnson wants to “continue to drive violence down in Austin,” he said. “Not only how do we drive violence down, but how do we ensure that we’re making the necessary investment in our schools and our community-based organizations?”

Johnson said that, though just one of Chicago’s neighborhoods, Austin plays an important role in attracting visitors to the city.

borhood.

In 2023, Chicago saw over 35,000 violent crime victimizations, according to the city’s violence reduction dashboard. In 2024, there were over 32,000 victims of violent crime, and last year, that number was down to over 25,000. Violent crime also decreased in Austin. In 2024, there were nearly 2,200 violent crime victimizations, down to over 1,700 last year.

“Some of the greatest declines in violence citywide come out of the Austin community,” Johnson said. “Don’t get me

poverty and trauma through career opportunities, youth outreach and community violence intervention. And his office has invested in the Crisis Assistance Response and Engagement (CARE) program, where a paid behavioral mental health crisis professional responds to someone having a mental health issue, rather than police. Created in 2021 as a way to improve nonviolent, non-medical mental health and substance use response strategies, CARE started operating in a few pilot neighborhoods, including those on the West Side.

Last summer, Chicago saw a record-setting 3.5 million visitors to the city over the summer, generating nearly $950 million in revenue.

“Austin played an incredible role in driving the narrative around how beautiful our city is. We are a city of neighborhoods and, when our airports are doing well, when our downtown is doing well, of course, that’s an indication of the strength of our city,” Johnson said. “But when our neighborhoods are thriving, that’s where we really know that these investments are starting to take root.”
