Organizers demand Oak Park, west suburbs support new migrant arrivals

New arrivals further strain Austin’s resources, organizers say By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ Staff Reporter

A coalition of west suburban and Austin organizers is demanding the village of Oak Park supports new arrivals in Austin. At an Oct. 23 rally outside the village’s town hall, the group demanded Oak Park honors its welcoming village designation to provide coordinated support to migrants and asylum-seekers sheltered at Austin police stations. In 2017, the village approved a welcoming ordinance to prevent the village from collecting immigration status information and limiting the village’s See MIGRANTS on page 8

Chicago considers using Austin Avenue warehouse to house migrants Officials are looking to use about 50,000 square feet of rented space to build showers and provide security and staff By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

1900 North Austin office building

The city is considering housing asylumseekers from South and Central American countries at the office and industrial complex at 1900 N. Austin Ave. The possibility of using the historically va-

cant industrial building on the other side of the Milwaukee District West railroad tracks, at 6001 W. Dickens Ave., is off the table. Both buildings are part of the once sprawling Zenith Radio campus — the Dickens Avenue building was its original factory, and the Austin Avenue office and warehouse buildings were part of its corporate expansion. The latter is occupied by a variety of office and industrial tenants and while the former looks abandoned, the real estate broker Steven Kohn told Austin Weekly News that its being renovated into a multi-tenant industrial building.

We’re transforming, inside and out. Join us.

t’s been two months, readers, since I was hired to lead all news operations here at Growing Community Media — long enough for me to get grounded and time now to introduce myself to you. It’s been a wild and fun ride, for sure. I’ll explain, and when I do, I’ll share my vision for our community news organizations you’ve loved and supported for so many years. My name is Erika Hobbs, and I’m an award-winning, veteran journalist who has worked at the Philadelphia Inquirer, Orlando Sentinel, Center for Public Integrity, Newsweek and other publications. I’m a digital strategist with a track record of transforming newsrooms into audience-focused publications. I’m a cat lady, favorite aunt (wink) and spiritual seeker who is committed to high-quality, authentic and representative local news. My role here is a little different than what you may be used to. Growing Community Media is a nonprofit organization with four publications under its umbrella: Austin Weekly News, Forest Park Review, Riverside-Brookfield Landmark and Wednesday Journal. In the past, one editor and maybe one reporter was assigned to each coverage area. We’ve changed that structure. I act as editor-in-chief of all four publications, so I steer the plans with help from our reporters and edit all of the stories that come in. Our reporters are still embedded in each community — we wouldn’t have it any other way — but changing the structure eases their work-

load so they can focus on the quality news and information you deserve. That new structure also frees me to set the vision for GCM for how we’ll grow, how we’ll better serve you and how we’ll continue to nurture our staff. It’s going to be tough, but I promise you that it will also be exciting and transformative. And you’ll be a part of it all. Our mission is to connect “citizens through community journalism rooted deep in our neighborhoods, based in facts, and reflective of voices not always heard.” Sometimes we’ve done that beautifully. Sometimes we could have done better. We’ve talked the talk. Now it’s time to walk the talk. Here’s how I plan to do that: ■ Beginning in November, I’ll be holding meet-and-greet sessions in all our coverage areas so you can meet me personally and ask me anything you like. ■ By the beginning of the year, we’ll expand that to hold deep listening sessions with each community so we can learn how we can serve you better. ■ Also in the beginning of the year, we will begin intensive diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging trainings to transform our internal culture, and as part of that, we’ll publicly display our DEIB statement that will be crafted from that work. We recognize that we have a lot to learn. We will do better. And our coverage will authentically represent the communities we cover. ■ We will be focusing on audience-first

ERIKA HOBBS

coverage, which means we’ll be listening more. ■ It also means we’ll operate with a digital mindset. You’ll see more content online, on social media and in newsletters. We’ll be experimenting with content types and delivery of news and information. Does this mean the paper will go away? No. It means that we’ll bring you better stories in more 21st century ways. ■ You’ll see stories that offer solutions to the problems we write about and offer more ways that readers can help. We’re already on our way to reaching our goals. Reporter Francia Garcia Hernandez, for example, wrote about how survivors of domestic violence can get help. Digital manager Stacy Coleman will be revamoing our community page to help you find what’s new and to-do about town. And we’ll be piloting a newsletter strategy in Wednesday Journal that we hope to expand across the board after we learn more about what readers want in their inboxes. Finally, we’ll be making key hires in coming months to ensure quality coverage continues. You’ll see invigorated writing, bright voices and bold design. Growing Community Media is a leader in the local news space. It’s an awardwinning publication with a stable financial foundation and some of journalism’s best at the helm and on the ground. I’m proud to be here. And I’m just as proud — even thrilled — that I’ll be leading GCM through its digital evolution. Stick around. You’ll love it. I promise. Feel free to drop tips, questions and comments anytime. You can reach me at erika@growingcommunitymedia.org.

Are you ready for winter?

re you ready for winter? I’m not, even though I’ve been very diligent about putting things away in anticipation of the first snowfall. All my outdoor furniture has been covered by waterproof tarps. A lot of people tend to think that things are impervious to the winter weather. But snow, will melt and thus find its way into cracks and crevices. Then when a deep frost comes, that water as it freezes or refreezes expands and causes cracks and breaks. One of my neighbor’s cement planters has large chunks broken off for that very reason. When I had my second story addition added 23 years ago, the workers caused the outdoor electrical outlet to become loose. The initial break wasn’t too bad. But over the years, that outlet, which I rarely use, was becoming more and more exposed to the weather. I know that is dangerous. But far too often, like a lot of people, I look at things and say I’m going to take care of it. And year after year, I didn’t. But the protective covering finally broke off and no longer protected that live outlet. When I had an electrician out, I had him fix that. He also added a better waterproof cover. Now I can plug in Christmas lights or run my electric snow blower without the danger of water getting to the outlet or me electrocuting myself. I am still recovering from the July flood. One of the original owners of my house built a bathroom in the basement.

They used regular 2 x 4s to frame out the area. Over the years, from floods in the past and plumbing issues, I noticed the blackening at the bottom of the wood. That is a sign of mold. Not surprising because the backup was pure sewer water, which contains lots of bacteria. I pulled out the wonder bar and as I pulled at the thick wooden bottom board, it began to crumble away. Now I have one more project that has to be fixed. But I’m going to hire a handyman to do it. Those bottom wood boards were part of the support system for the exterior wall of the bathroom. It is something that needs to be addressed immediately because of structural concerns. Thankfully, I think I’ve found a new handyman who can come and do it. There are probably not a lot of decent fall days left before a big chill comes along. If you haven’t already done so, it is time to disconnect the water hoses and cover your outdoor spigot. There’s an inexpensive styrofoam device that hooks onto the outdoor faucet as a cover. I have suffered frozen pipes twice over the last couple of years. It is the worst feeling in the world to turn on the water and not have it come out. And the risk of a broken pipe is an expensive proposition. It is also a good time to begin to cover your windows with clear plastic film if they have a lot of air that seeps in through them. Lastly, make sure you have a shovel and ice melt. Winter is coming. Be prepared.

Job and resource fair offers opportunities to West Side residents A job and resource fair will be held Oct. 28 at Michele Clark High School

By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ Staff Reporter

West Side residents can find dozens of local employers and service providers sharing opportunities, information and programs available to the community at Michele Clark High School. The job and resource fair is organized

by the 15th Chicago Police District in partnership with the workforce development organization Central States SER. Other local community and faith organizations such as BUILD Chicago and Hope Community Church also support the event. Employers from different industries will share available openings and job opportunities. Koch Foods, Serco, Casa Central,

BMO Harris Bank and Addus are among the employes who will be onsite. In the past, similar events have also brought in representatives from local nonprofits and governmental agencies to share information about available programs for community members. The fair is part of a violence-prevention strategy dedicated to bringing wraparound

Suburban support? from page 1 cooperation with agencies on immigration enforcement cases. “If we are communities that continue to advocate that hate has no home here and that we are welcoming to all, it’s time to lift that spirit and start wrapping it into more practical sustainable solutions to the people who are most vulnerable and most directly impacted,” organizer Betty Alzamora of Forest Park told this publication. Oak Park and west suburban communities need to support new arrivals in Austin because the growing influx of asylumseekers further strains Austin’s resources, creating more scarcity in an already disinvested environment, said Austin activist and labor organizer Crystal Gardner on a social media post about the Oct. 23 rally. Many of the organizers have volunteered to help asylum-seekers in Austin since the spring and are calling for organized cooperation between the village and the city of Chicago. Elected officials in Oak Park and neighboring suburban communities must now step up and lift the burden placed on Austin, organizers said. “We know that we have to join collectively in order to be able to maximize our impact,” Alzamora said. The grassroots coalition also questioned why the village of Oak Park, which declares to be committed to equity, inclusion and diversity, has not provided aid for the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the police station a few miles away on Madison Street. Among their demands are village fund-

FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ

15th Chicago Police District station ing and wraparound services for asylumseekers, as well as the creation of a west suburban task force. The village of Oak Park “is aware of the growing population of asylum seekers at nearby Chicago Police Department stations, specifically the 15th and 25th District Headquarters,” a village spokesperson told this publication via email. Oak Park Chief Diversity Equity and Inclusion Officer Danielle Walker said she visited the 15th district on Oct. 19 and met with volunteers who “emphasized the need for immediate housing, legal assistance, drinking water, laundry support, and food delivery.” “Village staff have been engaged for quite some time and the visit only further underscored the urgency for thinking through positive solutions, which we are

all committed to,” the village said. The coalition also is asking Oak Park that welcome migrants to resettle in the area and in other west suburban municipalities. The Village of Oak Park said that weeks before the rally, it applied for the Supporting Municipalities for Asylum Seeker Services (SMASS) grant in the amount of $7.5 million to serve as a passthrough to organizations such as Housing Forward, Catholic Charities, Beyond Hunger, PCC Wellness, Greater Chicago Legal Clinic, West Cook YMCA, and Thrive Counseling Center. On Oct. 6, the village was informed it was awarded $150,000 to assist in preparation for “future opportunities to support asylum seekers” and it continues to talk with the grant program managers to determine how the funds can be used. The coalition includes the United Work-

services and employment opportunities to the local community. It also builds on existing relationships between the local police force and community members who continuously collaborate to respond to the needs of local residents to reduce crime. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Michele Clark High School at 5101 W Harrison St. No pre-registration is required.

ing Families group 290 IPO, community groups Activate Austin and Activate Oak Park, the local grassroots group Indivisible Oak Park Area, and the local youth group Revolutionary Youth Action League. The push comes amid the increasing influx of asylum-seekers citywide, including in Austin police stations. A few months ago, the 15th Police District had smaller groups of 15 to 20 migrants, but the number has more than tripled in the last few months, causing several of them to camp outside the police station. At the 25th Police District, volunteers have seen the number of asylum-seekers double from one week to the other. Austin residents decried the city’s plans to turn the local Amundsen Park into a shelter, depriving local community members from existing resources in the community, at a public meeting and subsequent rally. Faith leader Marshall Hatch said communities with more resources can help respond to this humanitarian crisis at a faith-based meeting early this month. At that meeting, Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th) questioned why the city of Chicago is able to spend hundreds of millions of dollars into migrant aid when neighborhoods like Austin or Englewood have been historically disinvested. “When we asked for money to rebuild schools, when we asked for money to open up shelters when we asked for support for our community, how many times were we told that money doesn’t exist?” Lopez said. Lopez is pushing a proposal that would allow Chicago voters to decide if the city should keep its welcoming city designation in the upcoming election. Chicago’s welcoming city ordinance protects undocumented residents from being prosecuted solely due to their immigration status and provides them access to city services.

Housing possible from page 2 campus, announced on Oct. 9 that the city was looking at the Austin Avenue building to house migrants, as an alternative to using Amundsen Park fieldhouse further south. The Dickens warehouse has been pitched as the alternative site by several residents at multiple community meetings, as well as at a rally held on the morning of Oct. 9. In a recent interview, Taliaferro said that the city is looking to use about 50,000 square feet of rented space to build showers and provide security and staff. He said that as of Oct. 22, the city completed building inspections, and negotiations were ongoing. Austin Weekly News was unable to reach building owner Peter Anerson by deadline. Last month, the city announced that Amundsen Park fieldhouse is a potential site to house about 200 migrants, which triggered a strong pushback from residents and several long-time Austin community activists. Many said that they had nothing against asylumseekers, but they didn’t want to lose the park’s indoor programs.

“I think the city is incredibly misguided if they think that’s how they should be handling these people.”

Kohn said that he was excited about the project because it would bring manufacturing jobs to communities where companies like Zenith Radio used to be the lifeblood. But he said that it will be a few months before he can give any concrete dates for when the renovations might be finished, let alone when the tenants would move in. Kohn said that even if the Dickens building renovations were already finished, he didn’t believe it would be a good fit. “The challenge [with] these industrial buildings and office budlings as well, [is that] there are just no showers, no bathroom facilities,” he said. “It looks like a big space, and it doesn’t have what people are going to need.” The warehouse portion of the Austin Avenue property faces the same problems, Kohn said, and while the office building has a better HVAC system than in industrial buildings, the problem of having no restrooms and showers would still be present. He said that to the best of his knowledge, the office tower may have about 20,000 square feet available, and the industrial building have around 40,000 square feet. While Kohn believed that they could be pressed into service as emergency shelter, it would take “weeks and weeks” to get

them ready — and even then, it wouldn’t be a good long-term solution. “This is not the kind of place that people should be housed,” he said. “I think the city is incredibly misguided if they think that’s how they should be handling these people.” Taliaferro said that the city hasn’t been updating him on every step of the negotiation, but he said that the main issues were the costs of renting the space and figuring out the costs and logistics of putting in the showers. The goal, he said, was to find a deal that would make sense “from the financial perspective” for both Anerson and the city. Taliaferro said in a recent interview that he hasn’t been given any timetable for when the deal would be complete. He said that to the best of his knowledge, the city wasn’t looking at any other sites in the area. Taliaferro said he didn’t have any concerns about using the building as a shelter. “1900 North Austin would be able to be used, with the right amount of property staffing as well as security to have migrants come in and occupy that space,” he said. “And Amundsen Park will continue to operate, with all the programs that they had prior to this announcement. That would be the perfect solution.”
