Helping Those Who Live In The Parks
Sunday, July 5, 2009 | | 0 comments |
We like what the 48th Ward is doing to reach out to those who live in the park to help them escape homelessness. Can we expect similar action from the 46th Ward?
From Ald. Smith's latest newsletter (48th Ward):
"City "Sweeps" the Lakeshore Parks. To help ensure the cleanliness of the parks and to offer help to those who are living in them, Alderman Smith's office, together with the Chicago Police Department and the Department of Human Services have been conducting park "sweeps" after the parks close. Everyone encountered is told they can't sleep in the park and is offered medical care and social services support to help them transition out of homelessness. Trash left in the parks is cleaned up by the Chicago Park District. If there is a specific park location that needs attention, please e-mail dana@masmith48.org."
