She also serves on the board of directors for numerous organizations, including the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR; board treasurer), Susan G. Komen Chicago, Chicago Women in Philanthropy (CWIP), and the Metropolitan Chicago Breast Cancer Task Force. Erie St. began as the “little Dutch church” in West Town, focusing its efforts on helping the area’s immigrants. Typically held after school, the program transitioned to a full-day schedule to give students a safe place to attend Chicago Public Schools virtual classes. Rafael "Rafa" Ravelo is the first Latino individual to become executive director.

We are a human services agency rooted in the settlement house tradition, strengthening Chicago’s immigrant communities since 1870. Other Erie House programs that had been traditionally held in-person — legal consultations for citizenship and immigration clients, youth mentoring, mental health counseling and more — have been conducted remotely since March. Kirstin Chernawsky became executive director after serving as senior director of development and communications.

Erie Elementary Charter School

From the late 1880s to 1920, the Dutch and Norwegians were replaced by Poles and Italians. “Mom Savino,” came to Erie House when it was still the Erie Chapel Institute in the 1920s. She and her husband both got jobs at Erie, but also volunteered for many hours beyond their work time. She was an Erie institution by then, by far Erie’s most famous Italian participant. For the most part these Italians were Catholics, as were the Poles who also came to Erie.

Chicago's Free Kindergarten Association

Erie Neighborhood House opened in 1870 in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood. As the city and community changed over a century and a half, so did we; from a church serving our neighbors to a settlement house delivering wraparound services to immigrants and individuals from all backgrounds to help them thrive and build proud, powerful communities across the city. Since 1870, Erie Neighborhood House has been a classroom, a second home, and a community center for thousands of low-income and recent immigrant families in Chicago. Your investment in Erie House supports a legacy of award-winning educational programming, legal services and mental health programs for the whole family, from early childhood to adulthood.

We equip our community with the tools and information needed to thrive in the face of adversity, including “Know Your Rights” trainings and direct outreach. We make a healthy lifestyle more accessible with workshops, support groups, and counseling, all through a trauma-informed and culturally-sensitive lens. Crain's Chicago Business named Kirstin to its 40 Under 40 list in 2018 and she was a Leadership Greater Chicago Fellow, Class of 2019.

Before joining Erie House in 2019, she worked as mission funding director for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s $198 Million comprehensive campaign. Kirstin Chernawsky is the executive director of Erie Neighborhood House and is the ninth individualto serve in this capacity since the agency's incorporation in 1915. She came to Erie House in 2013 and served as senior director of development and communications before entering her current role in 2016. Puerto Rican immigrants started arriving in the 1950s, at first settling at the south end of Lincoln Park. This is the neighborhood where former Congressman, Luis Gutierrez, who became a nationally recognized leader in the fight for immigration reform, lived until his parents decided to move back to Puerto Rico when he was about 15.

He returned to Chicago as an adult and settled himself and his wife in West Town, the successor neighborhood to Lincoln Park for Chicago’s Puerto Rican community. The Gutierrez family was a good example of what Gina Perez has called the “va y ven”/ “go & come” pattern of Puerto Rican migration, in her book The Near Northwest Side Story. Sixteen years later, in 1886, the congregation moved a half block east to 1347 W. In 1893, it was selected as one of 20 founding members of Chicago's Free Kindergarten Association. Erie Chapel expanded facilities at its new location two years later to accommodate its growing youth programs, choirs for children and adults, and industrial classes. Equipping children and youth with tools and resources to support a bright future.

They built and worshipped at Holy Innocents Church, just two blocks from Erie House where they learned English. The organization also has locations in Little Village and Humboldt Park. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Erie House begins delivering "Know Your Rights" training to the community.

Mexicans were already in the neighborhood and connecting to Erie House by the 1970s. But Mexican immigration increased precipitously following the Immigration Reform & Control Act of 1986, which opened a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. By 2000, there were an estimated eleven million undocumented immigrants in the US, mostly from Mexico. Mexican immigration to Chicago eventually surpassed the previous record-breaking Polish immigration already mentioned.

As the city and community have changed over the last century and a half, so have we. What began as a church evolved to become the now oldest operating settlement house in the city. Through these programs, we empower the people we work alongside to build powerful communities. Since 1870, Erie Neighborhood House has provided the most comprehensive support immigrant and low-income families in Chicago need to thrive and has constantly evolved to meet their needs.

Prior to joining Erie House in 2019, Michelle worked in regional human resources for retail stores at O'Hare Airport, Midway Airport, Ogilvie Station, and 2 warehouses. She also has experience with workforce development through Skills for Chicagoland and the CARA Foundation. He joined Erie House in 2007 and has served as education programs coordinator, assistant director of YOU and director of YOU. We are the oldest settlement house still operating in Chicago, having worked alongside folks across the city for a century and a half. From those early days as “the little Dutch church” in West Town to the widespread impact we make today, our history is shaped by the immigrant experience—marked by struggle, resilience, and hope—that is such an inseparable part of Chicago's identity. Our in-house team of attorneys and legal representatives help their clients navigate the US citizenship and immigration system, keeping families together, and allowing them to achieve a greater sense of security.

Inside Safe has had mixed success when it comes to its goal of completely eliminating the encampments it targets. The city attempted to close a camp earlier this year at North Spring and Arcadia streets, two blocks from City Hall. On a recent afternoon, about 15 tents still dotted the sidewalks around that intersection. Pete Wales, 65, is one of the few Inside Safe participants who found permanent housing. But Wales already was working with a nonprofit on getting into housing before he moved into one of the program’s hotels in February. There’s a lot riding on its success at a local, state and even national level.

Despite concerns about the low number of people housed through the program, the City Council allocated $250 million to continue and expand Inside Safe over the next year. Inside Safe already has been a godsend for people like Tim and Sandy, who live in a condo about two blocks from the overpass and are relieved to see the now-spotless sidewalks. Tents, makeshift shacks and broken-down RVs crowded both sidewalks under a U.S. Shulman’s famous seven-minute exposure captures the house and its sprawling city backdrop.

...and a juice bar.

She has received two 10-minute counseling sessions and a prescription for Zoloft since arriving at the hotel. But she says she needs ongoing, in-depth mental health treatment and medical care for her teeth, and she’s not getting either. At the time he was interviewed by a reporter late last month, Wales was preparing to move into a subsidized studio apartment in a new building near Echo Park. “Make no mistake — We are not satisfied with the amount of people in housing,” she said in an emailed statement.

Campagne House

Los Angeles’ new homelessness solution is meant to quickly get people out of encampments and into housing – as the city grapples with the state’s largest population of unhoused residents. But the program is struggling to house people and connect them with social services. Skid Row, the infamous center of Los Angeles’ homeless community, is another area where any progress Inside Safe made is scarcely visible. The program moved 175 people from encampments in that neighborhood into hotel rooms, but it barely made a dent.

Our restaurant is built to honor the legacy of Charles Campagne. A pioneer in the Bethpage community.

His reprieve from living outdoors lasted only about six months. Street Care who works with Smith and others at that motel, said Smith isn’t the only one whose needs aren’t being met. Another guest at the hotel has a hernia so severe that she’s forced to use a wheelchair, Rehl said. People have to jump through a series of hurdles to prove they qualify for subsidized housing, including obtaining the right form of identification. The city’s lack of affordable housing is another major factor.

Sometimes, people pitched tents right outside the gym’s door and it took months for the city to remove them, he said. On a Wednesday afternoon last month, all traces of the tents – and the people who lived in them – were gone. California cities of every size lack shelter beds for the state’s growing homeless population. A new bill would force local governments to do more, and punish ones that don’t plan housing for homeless Californians. After dropping him from the hotel, outreach workers gave him a tent and drove him back to the overpass, he said. After he pitched his tent, police quickly came and told him he could no longer camp there.

Inside Safe has clear advantages over previous efforts to make a dent in L.A.’s homeless crisis. It removes the sprawling encampments that, as the city’s most visible symptom of homelessness, spark never-ending complaints. Advocates say it’s much easier to find long-term housing for people in hotel rooms than for people still in tents. Hotel rooms provide a safe place where residents can heal from the trauma of the street, get their documents in order and relearn how to live indoors.

The situation makes him feel useless and worthless, like “a waste of space and a waste of time.” Still, he insists he deserves a chance. “I’m a good person,” he said, a tear running down his cheek.

The streets remain lined with tents and make-shift camps, where as many as 2,000 people are estimated to live. The city is leasing rooms in about three-dozen motels, paying between $100 and $125 a night, per room. So far, Inside Safe has burned through nearly $40 million, city staff said during a committee meeting earlier this month. To make the program more affordable, the city is trying to buy some of the hotels. The 101 overpass at Cahuenga Boulevard, cleared in December, was the first Inside Safe operation.

In March 1954, Clarence “Buck” Stahl and Carlotta May Gates drove from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and got married in a chapel. They each worked in aviation (Buck in sales, Carlotta as a receptionist), had previous marriages, and were strapping, tall, and extremely good looking—California Apollonians out of central casting. It was as conspicuous as it was forbidding, visible from the couple’s house on nearby Hillside Avenue. “This lot was in pure view—every morning, every night,” Carlotta Stahl recalled. Locals called it Pecker Point, presumably because it was a prime makeout venue.

She wants to bring in doctors, nurses, dentists and social workers in-training from local universities to help fill the gap. But for those living and working near the U.S. 101 overpass that was the site of the city’s first Inside Safe operation, the difference is night and day. Bass said that was one of a small number of Inside Safe sites the city wasn’t able to completely clear because some people at the encampment declined a hotel room.

Bass has all but staked her tenure as mayor on fighting Los Angeles’ homelessness crisis. Enjoy a carefully created menu filled with food that is simultaneously familiar yet inspiring. Our cocktail list harkens back to the days when cocktails were created with care, yet surprises you with modern flair. The homeless population fell by a third in Texas over the past decade as it surged in California. The cost of living is a big reason Texas is doing a better job at alleviating homelessness. “That is a major concern of mine,” said Bass, who says the service providers simply don’t have the capacity to meet everyone’s needs.

For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.

In 2018, the organization debuted the state-of-the-art Lotus Village, which has set national standards for shelter design, operation, and programming. Today, more than 80 percent of the shelter’s guests successfully exit the shelter system following their time at Lotus Village, far exceeding the national average of between 60 and 65 percent. Undeterred by the pandemic, Lotus House served a record-breaking number of people last year, sheltering 1,526 women, youth, and children through December of 2021. Lotus Village has invested heavily in operational protocols aimed at ensuring the health and well-being of shelter guests – from deep cleaning protocols to investments in UV light technology that eliminates airborne bacteria. The shelter also introduced programs and therapies to assist children and adults in adapting to the realities of the pandemic. Shelter guests have had access to weekly COVID-19 testing and vaccine administration onsite.

Lotus Village: A Hope for Homeless Children and Women in Miami

Our programs are designed to provide them with access to the tools and resources they need to secure full or part-time employment and become economically independent. The Children’s Village will also serve as home to other community-based nonprofits, offering an array of resources and programming for children and youth and their families in Overtown and surrounding neighborhoods. A quiet enclave with lush gardens, Lotus House offers a sanctuary – a place where the minds, bodies and spirits of women and infants most in need are supported, nurtured, uplifted and afforded an opportunity to learn and grow on every level. The first initiative of the Foundation was the establishment of the Lotus House Women’s Shelter in 2006 in the heart of Overtown, Miami serving homeless women. During infancy and early childhood, children develop their capacity for trust, self-esteem, conscience, empathy, problem solving, focused learning and self-control.

Micky and Madeleine Arison Family Foundation Children’s Wellness Center

More than 300 members of the community attended, including City of Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado, Miami-Dade Public Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, Miami-Dade Homeless Trust Chairman Ron Book and Miami-Dade County Deputy Mayor Russell Benford. Several Lotus House alumni who have transitioned to homes outside the shelter system welcomed attendees, including many children who were newborns at Lotus House. GracesList.org is an emergency services directory offering a list of local homeless shelters, churches, food banks and other emergency services. Many of the women had spent time in other shelters where they didn’t feel safe and no one knew their name. With the new building, the administrators hope to increase the number of residents to 350 and provide more services for others who do not live in the shelter.

Lotus House Plans $20 Million Expansion With New 75,000-Square-Foot ‘Children’s Village’ Facility

The facility includes a special maternity wing for women who are homeless and pregnant and their infants. In The Children’s Village, Lotus Endowment continues and deepens its commitment to the important work of Lotus House changing and transforming the trauma of homelessness into a window of opportunity for children to heal, learn, grow and thrive and preventing and ending homelessness. The findings been shared with Lotus House leadership and staff — including Program Coordinator Jackie Roth and Wellness Director Rai Johnson, a Lotus House alumna — who will use them as a guide as the organization shapes current and future operations, programs and policies.

Partners will include the Overtown Children and Youth Coalition, Legal Services of Greater Miami, Overtown Optimist Club, Urgent Inc., Miami Mindful Kids, Alliance for LGBTQ Youth, Nana’s Restart, Girl Power Rocks, Easterseals, and Lotus Children’s Services, in addition to a coalition of health and wellness providers. In the U.S., one-third of the homeless population is women and girls — and their experiences of homelessness are markedly different from that of men and boys. Knowing this, the researchers looked at why women’s specific services are key to addressing women’s unique experiences of homelessness, in addition to their overall health and wellbeing. Lotus House serves women who are homeless, whether due to domestic violence, untreated medical or mental illness, disability or economic reasons.

Sheltering 1,550+ women, youth and children annually, Lotus House is the largest shelter for women and children in the country. We provide shelter, resources, and multi-faceted, comprehensive supportive services to help our guests successfully exit the shelter system and lead lives of greater opportunity. The Children’s Village will come to life directly across the street from Lotus Village, the organization’s state of the art shelter which opened its doors in 2017.

The Children's Village

Financing for the project was arranged by The Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation, US Bancorp Community Development Corporation, Florida Community Loan Fund, and Enterprise Community Investment, Inc. Construction is expected to last between 15 and 18 months with an aim to open in time for the school year in the fall of 2024. Other items should be taken to our donation center located at Lotus House Thrift Chic Boutique.

On behalf of the homeless women and infants we shelter, thank you for your compassion and commitment to the Lotus House. A community pavilion will host book readings, films, performances, dance workshops and inspirational speakers. Today, we house over 500 women and children on a daily basis and over 1000 annually, giving these fragile families the time and tools needed to heal, improving the quality of their lives on every level, helping them achieving greater self sufficiency, and assisting them transition to their new homes. During the event, Gisele Bündchen, a passionate philanthropist and dedicated advocate for women and children in need, announced $1 million in support for a new playground for the preschool at the Children’s Village, along with educational programming to take place within the facility upon opening.

We are a leader in addressing the special needs of homeless women, youth and children with innovative, holistic, evidence based solutions to break the cycle of childhood abuse, domestic violence and homelessness. If the dreams come true of those we serve, we are all enriched by the fruit of their potential realized. Our Education Program allows women and youth to further their education and employment goals, and improve the quality of their lives through varying educational supports such as tutoring, basic supplies, college counseling and more. Our job readiness training program supports, uplifts, and empowers the women and youth at Lotus House to achieve greater financial self-sufficiency.

Lotus House is truly setting the standard on a national level for best practices and innovation. In comprehensive, multi-faceted programming and support services, together, we help women, youth and children emerge from the shadows, give voice to their dreams, and build the foundation for safer, healthier, brighter futures. Development of The Children’s Village represents a natural next phase for Lotus House, filling critical gaps and expanding essential therapeutic and educational supports for both the children and youth they shelter and those who live nearby. Currently, children aged newborn to three access the United Way Center for Early Education and Childcare housed within the shelter.

In some cases, such as those suffering from cancer or other severe medical conditions requiring prolonged treatment, medical issues are the principal reason for homelessness. In addition to offering basic health and mental health care, evidence-based and trauma-informed counseling,and education, our programming embraces alternative therapies and pathways to healing, health and wellbeing. Imagine you are 17 or 18 years old and alone, homeless, desperate to finish high school, with no family support and nowhere to turn. Nearly all of the unaccompanied, homeless youth at Lotus House have survived severe trauma in their short lives, including abuse, neglect and untimely loss of parents and caretakers, among others. And yet, with the holistic support system of Lotus House and education as their lifelines, they are still full of youthful hopes and dreams of a better future, college, the service or employment and a career.

Not only is the experience of homelessness by women gender specific, so too are many of the reasons they experience homelessness. The overwhelming majority of the women we serve at Lotus House are victims of physical or sexual abuse, domestic violence, trafficking, violent crime or other severe traumas. Women fleeing domestic violence and other forms of abuse are forced to give up homes, jobs, support systems and more to escape, too often only to find themselves at equal or greater risk of danger in homeless shelters and on the street. Lotus House provides free transitional housing and wrap around support services with access to a wide range of resources to approximately 520 women, youth and children daily. With a holistic, gender specific and innovative format, Lotus House seeks to empower women to improve the quality of their lives on every level, achieve greater self sufficiency and transition to permanent homes off the streets.

The Children’s Village will continue that educational continuum and provide enriched supports through the pre-school years and beyond, including high school. Educational workshops and a host of enrichment activities, including art, creative writing, yoga, dance, and crafts, offer alternative paths to healing, self exploration, growth and creative expression. Pre-natal care, birthing and parenting classes, and infant medical care and screening are also arranged for pregnant women and infants, along with needed maternity and infant supplies and day care assistance. With a multi-faceted and coordinated approach, Lotus House seeks to provide the full continuum of resources, tools and education needed to empower these special women to build a safe, secure and better way of life for themselves and their children. “By co-locating with other non-profits within The Children’s Village, we are establishing a new model for unprecedented collaboration, community engagement, cooperation, and holistic support for children and families.

This is the reason why I always fly ANA whenever I go to Manila. The food was not the best but the flight crew more than makes up for the shortfall. You do not have a space for flight cancelled. Was booked on another airline for the next day. The original flight was booked solid. But he precheck by the maintenance found a mechanical problem and the plane was not safe to fly.

What’s more, we provide you with all the information you need to confidently make reservations on your family, business, or personal trip. I had trouble finding a boarding pass because I had an hour between Flights and American did not see my flight I believe because I was ticketed through KAYAK. I did not have enough time to go to the desk before boarding so I went to the desk and told them while I was boarding and they had a boarding pass for me within three minutes. I paid extra to have more legroom and it is definitely worth it for a six hour flight. I would’ve paid for a decent dinner, but they didn’t offer anything but a snack box —not good for six hours. The plane was old and you are required to connect your own device to their Wi-Fi rather than have entertainment options in the back of the seat in front of you.

The gentleman taking care of us on our flight was so nice, accommodating, and attentive. He always was smiling and giving pins to the kids which made me smile. The flight was quick too and without turbulence. Thank you for the great flying experience.

Charlotte - Tokyo Narita Airport Flights

It was an inconvenience to have to wait until next day but I would rather arrive safely. Very good other than we have to wait for one crew and we’re delayed and the pilot and his co- pilot has to make a difference to be right on time arrival. Disappointed about no food service also. Sort of wasted our first day of vacation. We left Pittsburgh at 630am and did not arrive in Mexico until late dinner time. I liked the piloting of the aircraft.

Food was ok but better than other airlines. Easy boarding, roomy seats, plenty of good food, very helpful snd friendly staff. Only thing that could have been better was to have cranberry juice. Women like this as it helps avoid UTI’s and not as sweet as other juices. From 15 hours and 14 minutes up to 22 hours and 15 minutes, depending on your stopover airport.

Two of those killed were officers with the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, Gov. Roy Cooper said on social media. The task force is made up of officers from multiple agencies. “Today is an absolute tragic day for the city of Charlotte and for the profession of law enforcement,” Jennings said.

Outside of these issues flight was otherwise ok. Due to a strike taking place with the airline, it negatively impacted my flight in multiple ways. My flight was delayed over 2 hours and the food served was mediocre at best. Flight crew were very friendly & did a great job trying to make up lost time due to the delay. The staff, ground and air, at ANA was very helpful and friendly during check in, boarding and during the flight.

Jason, 36, retired in 2022 as the most decorated British athlete, as well as the most decorated cyclist, of all-time at the Olympics. His wife Laura, Great Britain's most decorated female Olympian, considered making a run at the Paris Games but ultimately bid the sport farewell in March 2024. Four members of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department were also shot and injured, one of whom died from his injuries Monday night, police said on social media. The officer, Joshua Eyer, had been with the department for six years, police said. In all, four members of the task force were shot, three of whom died. The U.S. Marshals Service confirmed that one of its deputy marshals was among those killed.
