A
This
is
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
Act
committee,
and
tonight
we're
going
to
be
doing
public
service
proposals
and
the
way
we
would
like
to
ask
you
to
present
is
to
tell
us
who
you
are
your
organization,
how
people
can
get
in
touch
with
you
so
that
they
can
either
access
your
services
or
send
you
money
or
volunteer
or
in
some
way
get
in
touch
with
you
and
then
we
have.
We
have
a
summary
of
your
proposals.
We
have
your
complete
application.
A
We
really
there's
no
reason
for
you
to
read
from
your
application
or
your
summaries.
So
if
you
have
something
additional
to
tell
us
that
will
be
of
great
interest,
that
would
be
really
really
helpful.
So,
let's
get
started
I
think
we
should
introduce
ourselves
also
because
we
haven't
met
a
little
Algren.
When
would
you
like
to
start?
D
A
Welcome
everybody
so
the
first
we
don't
have
any
minutes,
because
this
is
our
first
meeting
with
only
CD
applicants.
We
had
a
meeting
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
with
the
mental
health
board,
so
our
first,
our
first
applicant
is
Shore
Community
Services
the
training
center,
and
we
look
forward
to
hearing
from
you
come
on
up.
If
you
have
others
with
you
that
you
would
like
to
introduce.
F
F
F
Currently
we
have
a
hundred
and
forty
five
individuals
with
developmental
disabilities
enrolled
in
our
program
at
the
training
center
in
Morton
Grove.
In
our
developmental
training
program,
individuals
are
working
on
jobs
such
as
packaging
and
assembly,
including
packaging,
sanding,
blacks
for
a
long
time,
customer
trim,
techs
and
assembling
hot
and
cold
packs
used
for
injury
for
another
long-term
customer.
Tetra
individuals
also
work
on
shrink,
wrapping,
collating
labeling
repackaging
and
some
individuals
work
on
answering
the
phones
and
greeting
visitors
in
our
receptionist
area.
We
also
have
numerous
janitorial
jobs
throughout
the
building.
F
Individuals
also
continue
to
work
on
two
businesses
that
we
have
been
growing
the
last
couple
years
in
order
to
provide
more
diverse
job
opportunities,
to
increase
revenue
and
to
be
part
of
the
movement
of
green
initiatives.
Our
first
business
is
east
cycle,
where
we
take
used
computers
and
other
electronics
from
businesses
and
individuals
in
the
community,
and
then
the
persons
enrolled
in
our
program,
disassemble
them
and
sort
them,
so
they
can
be
shipped
off
for
recycling.
Other
individuals
are
working
on
our
worm
firm.
F
F
Also
within
the
community.
We
have
expanded
our
mission
and
efforts
the
last
few
years
to
increase
the
number
of
individuals
we
are
supporting
in
the
community.
Our
supportive
employment
department
worked
with
61
individuals
this
past
year,
with
a
variety
of
community
jobs,
community
work,
experiences,
job
shadowing
experiences
and
volunteering.
F
We
currently
have
individuals
employed
at
jobs
such
as
Panera,
the
Niles
YMCA
and
three
individuals
employed
at
Compass,
foodservice
at
Northwestern,
University
in
Evanston
sure
has
partnered
with
Kurt's
cafe
in
Evanston
for
over
a
year
where
our
individuals
participate
in
job
shadowing
there
and
a
mock
interview
given
by
one
of
their
students.
This
has
been
a
successful
partnership
for
both
parties.
F
Many
of
our
individuals
who
want
to
work
in
the
community
but
are
unsure
what
would
be
a
good
match
for
them,
find
this
experience
valuable
to
be
able
to
say
afterwards,
I'd
like
to
work
in
a
restaurant
or
I,
definitely
not
like
to
work
in
a
restaurant
volunteer
sites
include
home,
delivered
meals,
Red
Door,
Animal,
Shelter,
Skokie,
Food
Pantry,
and
a
favorite
Evanston
vineyard
care
center
clothes
closet.
We
have
recognized
that
many
and
vigils
are
interested
in
these
community
integration
programs
only
and
not
necessarily
in
the
training
center.
F
In
response
to
that
need,
we
have
opened
our
newest
program,
true
north
in
Skokie,
where
individuals
have
the
ability
to
participate
in
these
community
work,
experiences,
job
shadowing
volunteering
and
also
fund
community
activities
in
a
smaller
setting.
The
building
also
has
state-of-the-art
computers
for
working
on
computer
skills,
with
an
emphasis
on
how
to
seek
opportunities
in
the
community
as
well
as
job
counseling
and
placement,
and
travel
training
for
those
interested
in
securing
work.
F
A
G
G
Evening,
everyone
I
am
Karen
singer,
I
am
the
CEO
of
the
YWCA
Evanston
North,
Shore
and
I'm
really
glad
to
be
here
tonight
present
briefly
on
our
2019
CDBG
application
for
a
comprehensive
domestic
violence
program,
we're
located
at
12:15,
Church
Street.
Our
phone
number
is
eight
four,
seven,
eight
six,
four,
eight
four
four
five
and
our
24-hour
domestic
violence
crisis
line
is
eight
seven,
seven,
seven
one,
eight
one,
eight
six,
eight
our
website
is.
G
E
NS
org
and
our
email
is
info
at
YWCA
dot
org
over
the
years,
CDBG
z'
funding
has
been
a
critical
component
of
our
domestic
violence
services
and
has
literally
helped
thousands
of
women
flee
the
violence
in
their
homes,
get
to
safety,
heal
and
go
on
to
rebuild
their
lives.
I
am
NOT
going
to
repeat
our
application.
I
am
here
with
our
clinical
services
manager,
Hilary
doing
and
I
figure
after
14
years
of
coming
before
you.
G
Maybe
you
would
like
to
see
another
faith,
so
I'm
gonna
honor
that
Hilary
works
every
single
day
with
the
women
in
our
program
and
I
asked
her
tonight
to
share
a
story
with
you
that
really
best
exemplifies
how
we
put
your
dollars
to
use
every
day
in
helping
the
lives
of
women
and
children.
So
Hilary.
H
Good
evening,
I'm
really
glad
to
be
here
tonight.
As
you
know,
the
YWCA
serves
hundreds
of
women
survivors
of
domestic
violence,
and
their
stories
are
all
different,
but
they
certainly
have
a
common
thread,
and
that
is
at
at
some
point.
They
reach
out
to
us
for
help
in
the
complex
process
of
breaking
free
from
their
abuser
Nellie
and
the
name
has
been
changed
to
protect.
Confidentiality
was
a
24
year
old
who
was
living
with
her
boyfriend
of
three
years
until
he
began
to
be
verbally
and
emotionally
abusive
on
a
daily
basis.
H
Over
time,
the
abuse
escalated
and
became
physical
and
she
feared
for
her
life
and
called
the
Illinois
domestic
violence
hotline.
They
referred
her
to
us.
Our
resident
support
specialists,
assess
her
needs
and
offered
her
a
place
at
our
shelter.
She
had
nowhere
else
to
go
because
her
boyfriend
knew
where
all
of
her
friends
and
family
lived
during
her
stay
at
our
shelter.
She
received
emotional
support,
counseling
about
the
dynamics
of
abuse
and
assistance
in
identifying
housing
and
employment
opportunities.
H
After
being
provided
with
a
safe
space
to
process
the
abuse
and
to
examine
all
of
her
options,
she
was
able
to
locate
an
apartment
and
a
job
and
left
the
shelter.
Nine
months
later,
Nelly
called
the
YWCA
Evanston
North
Shore,
24-hour
crisis
line
again
for
help.
In
the
time
since
being
in
shelter,
she
had
returned
to
her
former
abusive
partner
and
married
him,
hoping
as
many
abuse
victims
do,
that
things
would
get
better.
Instead,
things
got
worse,
he'd
punched,
her
pushed
her
down
the
stairs
and
the
abuse
was
happening
every
day.
H
Nelly
entered
our
shelter
again.
She
knew
our
agency
as
a
place
of
support
and
safety.
Where
she
had
received
services.
She
reported
that
her
husband
had
pushed
her
out
of
a
moving
car.
She
was
trying
to
file
for
divorce
from
him,
but
he
was
refusing
to
sign
the
papers
or
to
show
up
at
the
court
hearings
in
order
to
delay
the
process.
She
felt
she
was
ready
to
leave
him
for
good
and
you
did
the
support
to
start
over.
We
were
supportive
and
understanding
because
we
realized
that
can
take
victims.
H
Many
attempts
before
they
leave
their
abusive
partners
by
providing
sensitive
and
non-judgmental
services,
YWCA
staff
ensured
that
Nelly
had
a
positive
experience.
Every
time
she
sought
her
services
so
that
she
felt
comfortable
reaching
out
for
help
when
she
was
ready,
while
in
the
shelter
she
met
regularly
with
her
counselor
and
began
to
heal
from
the
abuse,
she
went
in
a
job
interview
and
was
hired.
She
continued
to
gain
confidence
and
independence.
While
looking
for
housing,
she
received
help
from
our
court
advocates
at
Skokie
courthouse
in
obtaining
the
order
of
protection
against
her
husband.
H
She
applied
for
our
YWCA
bridges
program,
which
is
our
permanent
supportive
housing
program.
Clients
get
their
own
apartments,
discounted,
rent,
counseling
and
case
management
support
and
the
opportunity
receive
a
Housing
Choice
Voucher
when
they're
ready
to
move
on.
So
with
the
help
of
our
bridges,
employment
and
housing
specialists,
she
moved
into
her
new
apartment
and
continued
to
receive
support
around
her
education,
career
options
and
processing.
Her
abusive
experiences
she
now
attends
counseling
regularly
has
developed
friendships
and
a
great
sense
of
community.
H
A
A
C
Gonna
kind
of
start
out
with
that
a
little
bit
I'm
Eileen
hallström
I
work
at
the
youth
Job
Center.
Our
web
address
is
WWE
s,
Job
Center
org,
we're
located
at
1114
Church
Street
in
Evanston.
Our
phone
number
is
eight
four,
seven,
eight,
six
four
jobs
and
our
email
address
is
info
at
youth
Job,
Center
org.
As
you
talked
about
Ann,
we
are
excited
this
year
to
celebrate
35
years
of
service
in
the
city
of
Evanston,
in
partnership
with
many
organizations
and
with
the
city
of
Evanston.
C
C
I'll
talk
today
briefly
about
our
programs
and
then
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
our
program.
Folks,
we
have
Len
Felton
here
from
our
out
of
school
youth
program.
He
works
closely
with
the
city
of
Evanston
youth
services,
division
to
provide
services
with
Kevin
Browns
team,
and
then
we
also
have
gillece
Johnson
here
today.
She
is
our
career
advisor
at
ETH
s
and
she's,
going
to
explain
a
little
bit
more
about
those
programs.
The
specifics
of
those.
C
In
addition,
I
did
want
to
mention
two
new
initiatives
that
we've
been
working
on
in
the
community.
One
is
cradle
to
career,
which
we've
been
very
involved
in
on
a
community
level
and
have
been
heavily
involved
from
the
very
beginning
and
continue
to
work
with
cradle
to
career,
to
provide
a
continuum
of
services
in
the
oven
stem
community.
C
In
addition
to
that,
we
also
are
now
involved
in
the
mayor's
employer
advisory
council
miik,
and
we
are
working
very
hard
with
them
to
align
the
needs
of
Evanston
employers
with
high
school
students,
so
young
people
can
move
into
jobs
and
employment
opportunities
directly
out
of
high
school.
We
look
forward
to
continue
partnering
with
ETH
S
on
this
initiative
and
we
work
hard
to
transition.
You
know
young
people
into
adult
life
and
onto
a
successful
path.
C
I
Evening,
everyone,
real
quick
part
of
the
out-of-school
team,
which
ranges
from
the
age
of
18
to
26
years
old,
and
we
have
two
models
that
we
use.
We
have
what
we
call
the
core
of
client
and
those
clients
are
just
anyone
that
walks
through
our
door,
they're
just
seeking
a
job
and
we
try
to
help
them
find
a
job.
The
other
one
is
what
we
call
Career
Pathways,
those
it
for
those
young
people
that
unless
say,
if
they
want
to
become
a
mechanic
or
CNA
or
CDL,
or
anything
like
that.
I
J
What
excuse
me
is
what
it
takes,
then
that
is
what
will
work
on
imperfect
since
I've
been
at
UT,
HS
I
have
become
more
than
the
job.
Lady
I
have
become
a
mentor
advocate
coach
friend
and
someone
students
feel
comfortable
talking
about
their
daily
lives
with
within
my
role.
I
have
had
numerous
accomplishments
and
collaborations
I
worked
closely
with
ETA
chess
in
the
college
and
career
department
staff
to
provide
effective
job
readiness,
training,
appointment,
support
in
my
office
after
school
and
in
classrooms.
J
As
of
today,
I've
managed
a
clays
caseload
up
for
176
plus
students,
I
assist
in
creating
resumes
and
provide
one-on-one
interview,
preparation
for
students,
in
collaboration
with
the
city
of
ever
since
youth
and
young
adult
division,
I
successfully
led
job
readiness
trainings
for
over
300
students,
9
y
jc--
and
y
jc--
clients
combined
that
focused
on
soft
skill,
positive
communication,
workplace
culture,
development
of
customer
service
skills
and
resolving
conflict.
The
y
jc--
has
partnered,
with
the
gap
incorporated
through
the
dis
way
ahead.
J
Internship
program,
in
which
132
youth
were
mentored,
trained
and
ultimately
placed
at
internships
at
either
gap,
Banana,
Republic
and
Old
Navy.
So
that's
all
around
the
Chicagoland
and
Everson
area
as
well,
and
lastly,
I
have
partnered
with
district
65
to
mentor
trained
in
place.
39
students
in
various
positions,
such
as
the
summer
tutors
ABC,
boosters
or
junior
cave
counselors,
in
which
students
were
employed
during
the
summer
school
program.
Excuse
me
the
summer
school
programs
as
tutors
and
classroom
aids.
J
J
I
C
K
K
Has
that
presumptious?
I
know,
but
again
just
thank
you
for
all
your
previous
support.
I
know
you
have
in
front
of
you
what
we
do.
Let
me
take
30
seconds
to
a
minute
just
to
remind
why
we
exist
in
a
little
more
which
might
help
out
with
what
we're
asking
for
sixty
percent
of
all
jobs.
It's
been
said,
we'll
need
a
college
degree
by
2020
and
only
55
percent
of
people
who
start
college
actually
finish
college
once
they
start.
K
So
we
have
tried
to
target
students
who
have
the
most
barriers
to
college
graduation,
perhaps
one
specially
in
Evanston
who
are
have
the
least
amount
of
resources
or
inequitable
resources.
So
we
work
primarily
with
students
who
are
first-generation
low-income
students
of
color.
We
have
a
six
year
program,
starting
with
two
year
or
two
years
of
high
school.
In
four
years
of
college,
we
provide
college
access,
College,
Success
college
affordability
and
mentoring,
including
mentor
from
the
community
and
peer
mentors
once
they're
in
college.
We
don't
have
scholarships,
we
actually
have.
K
We
have
resources
and
we
try
to
get
our
students
towards
institutions
that
give
out
the
most
money
and
would
be
good
fits
for
our
students.
So
with
that
we
have
70%
of
our
first
three
cohorts
have
graduated
from
college,
and
93
percent
are
persisting
in
college
nationally,
students
are
our
first-generation
and
low-income
graduated
11%
rate.
K
We
started
seven
years
ago
at
ten
and
now
we've
grown
too.
We
just
took
thirty
eight
of
our
recent
high
school
juniors,
and
so
with
that
we
now
have
227
students.
That
would
be
a
23%
increase
for
students
in
our
program.
We
have
a
16%
increase
in
our
budget
and
we
are
asking
for
16%
increase
in
our
CDBG
from
last
year.
K
We're
really
proud
of
our
numbers,
but
stories,
as
you
know
that
people
have
shared
here,
we'll
share,
is
some
as
well.
That
tells
a
little
bit
about
our
program.
We
had
a
scholar
at
Northwestern
who
was
having
trouble
for
many
reasons,
including
mental
health
issues,
and
she
dropped
out
within
our
first
year.
K
We
helped
guide
her
towards
resources,
get
her
back
towards
seeing
a
future
and
she
disintegrated
from
Dominican
University.
We
have
a
scholar
who
was
struggling
in
Eastern
Illinois
University
struggling
almost
dropped
out.
We've
worked
with
our
College
Success
staff
to
guide
him
and
he's
now
not
only
is
still
a
junior
at
Eastern
Illinois,
but
he
just
recently
had
a
3.0,
GPA
and
last
semester.
K
We
have
another
scholar
who
years
ago,
within
our
first
week,
heard
a
derogatory
racist
remark
and
it
almost
got
her
to
leave
campus.
She
reached
out
to
her
community
mentor.
She
reached
our
peer
mentor
reached
out
to
her.
She
moved
forward.
She
not
only
moved
forward.
She
graduated
college
in
three
years,
and
not
only
that,
but
she
is
also
one
of
our
current
mentors
for
our
program.
K
There's
a
variety
of
pressures,
as
you
guys
well
know
and
imagine
on
campus
and
those
pressures
are
getting
even
stronger
for
many
reasons.
So,
I
think
one
of
the
secrets
to
our
success
is
our
college.
Scholarship
ort
and
what
we
do
in
high
school
as
well,
and
this
would
tremendously
help
us
with
our
increase
in
budget
and
with
our
increase
of
scholars.
Thank
you
guys
for
your
consideration.
Thank.

where
they're

to
seek
out
new
challenges,
take
risks,
build
important
life
skills,
learn
from
their
mistakes
and
learn
how
to

she
needs
to

Girls
take
the

are
given
the
opportunity
to
explore
financial

steam,
healthy
living
and
meal
planning,
and
the

They
will
also

8
out
of
10
online
alumni
alumni
attribute
their
personal
and
professional
success
to
Girl
Scouts.
This
holds
true
across
race
and
social
classes.
There
is
an
urgency
to
support
girls
in
our
communities.
More
girls
are
living
in
low-income
families
today
than
10
years
ago.
E
Our
requests
have
awarded
is
a
direct
investment
in
the
girls
of
Evanston
and
in
a
program
designed
to
support
their
education
and
success
in
Illinois,
every
dollar
invested
in
a
youth
development
program
like
all
in
or
Girl
Scouts
generates
a
forty
five
dollar
return
on
investment
and
there's
a
handout
in
the
packets
that
we
share
tonight.
That
goes
into
more
detail
on
that
ROI.
E
A
A
L
A
L
They're
all
they're
all
over
they,
we
have
girls
in
grades
K
through
12,
some
are
in
community
troops,
where
they're
pulled
from
all
different
schools.
We
have
some
that
are
after
schools.
We
have
a
couple
troops
at
Washington,
Elementary
I,
know
that,
because
that
was
one
where
we
did
one
of
our
all
in
troops.
We
have
plenty
there's
the
three
schools
on
the
north
side.
We
have
troops
there,
there's.
E
E
J
B
Sure,
yes,
I
think
this
is
a
fantastic
idea
for
Girl
Scouts.
To
start
doing,
this
I
was
a
troop
leader
at
Lincoln
school
for
five
years.
At
the
time,
Lincoln
was
a
title
one
school
about
a
third
of
our
troop
received
financial
aid
and
and
it
was,
it
was
difficult
to
find
leaders
to
do
it.
I
mean
that's,
why
I
ended
up
doing
it
for
five
years,
but
so
I
think
this
is
excellent
for
you
to
kick-start
it.
B
E
Depends
on
the
program
partner
and
some
partnerships
have
been
easier
and
some
locations
of
all
ein
have
been
easier
to
transition
and
it's
been
easier
to
engage
a
volunteer
and
then
there's
been
other
locations
where
we
kind
of
already
know
that
the
staff
will
be
facilitating
the
troop
indefinitely.
Okay
and
I.
B
I
mean
I
was
a
Girl
Scout,
and
my
co-leader
was
also
a
Girl
Scout
when
we
we
were
younger
and
we
still
needed
some
support
just
to
get
kicked
off,
and
so
I
would
imagine
that
that
anyone
who
has
never
been
a
Girl
Scout
in
starting
a
troop
really
needs
a
lot
more
I
think
that
this
is
a
terrific
idea,
really
terrific.
It.
A
L
May
address
so
one
thing
that
comes
to
mind
is
again:
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
differentiating
right
while
we
have
over
almost
700
individual
Girl
Scouts
K
through
12th
grade
in
Evanston.
Those
are
what
we
call
our
traditional
model.
Their
volunteer
lead
the
model
that
we're
trying
to
approach
is,
while
many
of
these
girls
that
we
are
working
with,
surely
troops
are
wonderful
in
Evanston
and
our
Wellness
is
different.
A
A
N
For
ongoing
support
of
the
grandparents
raising
grandchildren
program,
this
program
has
been
helping
to
support
some
of
them
and
sends
most
vulnerable
families
since
the
1990s,
and
we
appreciate
their
support,
it's
grown
into
a
comprehensive
program
to
assist
these
special
families.
We
are
serving
currently
20,
eight
families,
27
grandmothers
and
one
grandfather
along
with
85
grandchildren
and
some
are
actually
great-grandchildren
and
they
range
from
birth
to
18
years
old
and
20
of
the
grandmothers
of
in
Evanston.
N
The
program
features
full
case
management
services
for
the
participants.
There's
ongoing
counseling
services
for
emotional
support,
educational
support.
We
also
help
people
find
resources
to
help
them
kind
of
make
ends
meet
at
the
end
of
the
month.
We
help
people
apply
for
energy
assistance,
farmers
market
coupons.
We
provide
referrals
for
legal
assistance
and
educational
assistance.
We
don't
exist
in
a
vacuum.
We
do
work
with
other
social
service
agencies
in
Evanston,
for
example,
we
collaborate
with
family
focus
on
a
annual
report
resource
fair
for
grandparents
raising
grandchildren.
N
The
program
also
provides
guest
speakers
to
address
topics
such
as
child
behavior
and
psychology.
Legal
concerns,
medical
issues,
positive
parenting,
styles.
The
program
has
regular
support
group
meetings,
but
there's
also
an
annual
holiday
party
back-to-school
party
and
the
resource
fair.
There
was
a
lot
of
information
in
the
grant,
and
so
do
you
have
any
questions
for
me.
A
A
N
O
O
O
One
of
the
things
that's
critical
to
know
is
85%
of
our
children,
our
low-income,
at
a
minimum
per
our
early
headstart
contract
with
district
65
we're
a
delegate
agency
of
the
district,
a
minimum
of
15
percent
of
those
children
have
to
be
high
needs,
and
that
could
be
anywhere
from
being
on
the
autism
spectrum
to
being
homeless
to
having
challenges
developmental
issues,
multiple
different
challenges,
so
we
serve
very
high
needs
population
in
Evanston
and
outside
of
district
65.
We
are
the
largest
0
to
3
provider
in
the
city.
O
So
one
of
the
things
that
we're
really
looking
to
do
is
to
provide
the
space
to
serve
the
70
children
that
are
at
baby
toddler
nursery,
which
is
at
2200
Main
Street.
These
children
do
not
currently
have
a
lot
of
indoor
space.
So
when
we
have
our
developmental
experts,
behavioral
experts,
our
gross
motor
experts,
fine
motor
experts
come
in.
We
have
to
bring
2
children
at
a
time
into
the
central
foyer
in
order
to
work
with
them.
We
have
audiologists
that
come
in.
O
Social-Emotional
development
in
play
is
also
critical
and
so
having
that
time
for
play
during
inclement
weather
winter
weather
is
also
essential
to
us.
So
this
is
a
very
exciting
project
for
us.
We've
been
working
over
the
last
year
with
Sarah
flax
and
her
team.
We've
made
a
lot
of
progress.
We
just
passed
all
of
the
city
hurdles
in
terms
of
our
zoning.
O
We're
looking
timeline
timeline
wise
to
hopefully
have
these
schematics
done
in
the
next
week
or
so
week,
or
two
and
start
the
bidding
process
in
October
and
make
a
decision
by
November
December
and
as
we've
understood
through
our
contractors,
we've
already
been
talking
to
it's
more
costly
to
build
over
the
wintertime,
so
we're
gonna
do
probably
a
groundbreaking
in
March
and
March
April.
That
is
the
the
hope
and
it
should
be
a
four
month
project,
so
we're
hoping
for
a
groundbreaking
in
March
and
a
ribbon-cutting
sometime,
three
or
four
months
after
that.
A
I
O
Big
difference,
the
last
thing
I'll
share,
if
there
aren't
any
other
questions,
is
one
of
the
things
we're
hoping
to
do
also
is
utilize
this
space
in
a
dual
role
as
a
training
space.
We
believe
we
have
a
lot
of
expertise
in
zero
to
three
and
can
bring
other
programs
into
the
space
and
train
teachers
as
well.
So
it's
just
an
exciting
opportunity
for
us.
P
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
discuss
the
JCC,
your
life's
Adult,
Day
Services,
or
upgrade
projects
they're.

I
am
the
director
of

management.
Our

our

is

and
our
Adult

Services,
which
we're
discussing
this
evening
and
transportation
facility,
is
at
10:15
Howard
Street
in
Evanston.
P
This
environment
helps
seniors,
remain
in
the
community
and
avoid
premature
institutionalization,
Adult
Day
Services
offers
activities
that
keeps
participants
active
and
socially
engaged,
including
music
drama,
dance,
art
therapy
exercise
and
mental
stimulation
activities
as
director
facilities,
when
I
do
go
to
Adult
Day
Services,
to
check
in
to
inspect
to
look
in
on
them.
It
really
makes
my
day
generally
when
I
walk
in
I,
hear
drums
or
music
of
some
type
people
singing
in
the
center.
P
They
bring
musicians
in
to
engage
everyone,
there's
they're,
always
actively
working
on
art
and
rotating
art
throughout
the
building,
and
the
mosaic
that
you
see
on
the
side
of
the
building
was
actually
created
by
residents.
It's
just
wonderful
how
they
bring
the
most
out
of
everyone.
They
can
in
the
short
time
that
everyone's
there
every
day.
P
These
activities
also
provide
caregivers
that
needed
respite
and
support.
This
program
serves
a
hundred
and
nine
older
adults
annually.
Twenty
five
twenty
four
percent
are
Evans
residents
and
60%
of
them
are
low-income.
The
transportation
program
also
helps
older
a
dates.
Ulcer
also
helps
older
adults,
stay
in
their
homes,
most
clients
no
longer
Drive,
and
the
program
provides
essential
door-to-door
services
to
and
from
adult
day,
services
to
medical
facilities,
social
services,
community,
centers
and
grocery
stores.
P
The
program
serves
2,237,
older
adults,
annually,
69
live
in
Evanston
and
88%,
or
low-income
the
property
and
facility
that
houses
the
program's
needs
improvements.
This
project,
that's
proposed,
will
replace
a
gutter
on
the
north
side
of
the
building
that
faces
the
alley.
This
gutter
just
does
not
function
properly
in
freezing
weather
and
snow
and
ice
gradually
clogged.
P
The
gutter
we
really
don't
have
any
melting
spells
during
winter,
so
it
just
adds
on
and
adds
on,
and
we
have
to
close
that
area
off
and
disallow
residents
from
going
back
there
in
the
wintertime
it
could
potentially
tear
away
from
the
building.
We
have
an
estimate
of
seven
thousand
nine
hundred
and
ten
dollars
to
remove
that
and
refabricate
it
in
a
different
manner
to
allow
drainage.
The
second
project
is
to
install
electromagnetic
door
holders
and
releases
on
six
interior
doors
to
be
integrated
with
a
fire
alarm
system
as
a
safety
upgrade.
P
This
is
something
that
the
VA
inspector
identified
some
months
ago
when
they
were
out,
and
the
third
is
to
install
safety,
security,
mag
locks
and
exit
keypads
at
the
three
exits,
and
this
is
on
the
north
side
of
the
building,
underneath
where
this
gutter
is
to
prevent
clients
from
exiting
the
site
with
without
their
supervision.
We
do
have
Wanderers
that
we
need
to
be
very
careful
of,
and
the
challenge
of
wandering
conflicts
with
fire
code.
P
A
M
P
M
P
Q
B
Q
B
P
A
M
Q
A
A
A
Even
you
could
even
tell
us
what
percentage
these
items
are
in
the
CD,
the
CD
ask
of
your
facility's
budget
or
of
your
maintenance
budget.
That
would
help
all
cells,
because
I
know
it's
got
to
be
a
small
percentage
and
most
of
I
mean
if
you
go
by
this
place,
Peter
it's
across
the
street
from
the
fish
cake.
You
see
all
the
buses
in
there
yeah.
This
is
the
location
we're
talking
about
and
most
of
your
clients
come
by
bus.
You
know
I'd
so
I
mean
that's.
A
Q
A
Would
be
really
helpful
because
I
know
every
time
you
come
and
ask
us
for
seeding
money.
We
always
have
an
issue
because
they
don't
quite
fit
in
so
many
times,
but
this
really
this
really
does
fit
in
and
I
hope.
We
can
help
out
here
in
some
way,
because
I
mean
it
would
and
I
know,
the
city
gets
invited
to
some
of
your
events
and
things
of
your
of
your
I.
A
O
O
A
D
A
D
Yep
it'll
be
the
city
applications
which
are
a
combination
of
public
services,
public
facilities,
housing
and
administration,
and
then
the
committee
will
have
the
opportunity
to
begin
discussions
of
just
funding
priorities.
I
wanted
to
let
you
know.
I
did
I,
have
tried
to
figure
out
what's
going
on
with
the
federal
2019
budget,
and
there
have
been
some
bills
passed
and
appropriations
bills
passed
and
actually
signed
into
law.
But
of
course
not
the
HUD
bill.
D
So
what
we
expect
is
going
to
happen
is
the
HUD
bill
and
a
number
of
other
bills
that
we
don't
expect
are
going
to
be
passed
by
the
30th
of
September,
which
is
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
will
be
covered
by
a
continuing
resolution
through
December
7th.
That
looks
what's
going
to
be
what
happens
so
the
soonest
we
are
likely
to
get
the
HUD
and
transportation
bill
passed
is
sometime
in
December,
which
would
mean
we
would
have
if
it
were
done
immediately.
