Dear Neighbors,
Just as we were finally thawed out after a mini polar vortex, we’re preparing for another weekend filled with snow. Please remember that the City's Winter Overnight Parking Ban is in full effect. The ban is enforced on 107 miles of vital arterial streets from 3 am to 7 am starting December 1st through April 1st, regardless of snow. Also, please make sure to shovel your sidewalks. Keeping our sidewalks clean and accessible benefits everyone in our community. If you need to report an unshoveled sidewalk please create a 311 request or email our office. |

Thank you to all the neighbors who braved the cold and joined me for the first Ward Night of the year. I appreciate the opportunity to create a safe space to sit down with you and learn more about your ideas, concerns, and discuss our shared vision for the 46th ward. I could not do this work without you and my team and I are grateful to be in community with awesome neighbors. |

Earlier this week I also bundled up and joined the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) and Brennemann Elementary administration to talk all things traffic safety, particularly during pick-up and drop-off times on Clarendon Ave. We are all invested in keeping our young neighbors safe without compromising traffic flow or pedestrian safety. We brainstormed a few solutions that we’re eager to test out and observe the outcome. |
|
|
|
We also held our first houseless neighbor outreach picnic of the year this week! Despite the cold, my office and our partner organizations remain committed to supporting our houseless neighbors all across our ward—meeting them where they are and offering care, connection, and resources in every season. We appreciate all of our neighbors and volunteers who continuously show up to make this monthly picnic an awesome way to strengthen community in our ward. |

| As our beautiful lakefront sits covered in pancake ice at the moment, I had a chance to reflect on how it has impacted my life and also shaped our ward. I was honored to sit down with Madeline Crispell and Sari A. Breslin from the Chicago Maritime Museum for the first episode of season two of Making Waves, and reflect on how our lakefront shapes life for our neighbors. We talked about everything from our piping plovers, who remind us of the importance of stewardship to having the first fully accessible dog beach in Chicago. We also reflected and acknowledged the difficult history of segregation along our beaches, including the reality that many people who look like me were once excluded from these spaces. Today, our lakefront stands as a powerful testament to belonging, accessibility, and the rich diversity of our city.
Growing up in the 46th Ward, so many of my memories are rooted all along the water. From seeing neighbors fishing at Montrose Harbor, to taking in summer fireworks against the skyline, to sitting quietly by the water and appreciating the beauty of the lake, the lakefront has always been a gathering place and a source of joy.
Thank you to the Chicago Maritime Museum for creating space and for spotlighting the lakefront as both a shared treasure and a reflection of who we are in the 46th Ward. |

| | Neighbors, a quick reminder about two important federal changes that may impact you. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) eligibility rules will change beginning February 1, 2026, with expanded work and reporting requirements that may impact many households. We encourage anyone receiving benefits—or who may be affected—to review these updates carefully and seek support at your local Illinois Department of Human Services office.
Addtionally, REAL ID requirements for air travel are now in effect. If you plan to fly and do not yet have a REAL ID or passport, please take steps to get one to avoid additional fees or travel disruptions. |

This week, I voted in support of an ordinance brought forth by my colleague from the 26th ward that strengthens accountability while reaffirming Chicago’s commitment to being a Welcoming City. This amendment updates the Municipal Code to explicitly allow the Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) to investigate complaints alleging violations of our Welcoming City Ordinance by members of the Chicago Police Department.
This matters because our neighbors deserve to know that protections on paper are enforced in practice. No one should fear that interacting with city services or law enforcement could put them at risk because of their immigration status. I will continue to support policies that uphold dignity, accountability, and trust between our communities and city institutions.

Yours In Service,

|
| SNAP Eligibility Rules Are Changing — What You Need to Know
Important SNAP Benefits Update
Earlier this year, Congress passed H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes major changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Beginning February 1, 2026, expanded work-reporting requirements will take effect, marking the most significant tightening of SNAP eligibility in decades.
These changes expand work requirements beyond adults ages 18–54 to now include adults 55–64 and parents or caregivers whose youngest child is 14 or older. Most SNAP recipients ages 18–64, unless exempt, will be required to document 80 hours per month of work, volunteering, or job training to maintain benefits after three months. Failure to report could result in the loss of benefits as early as May 1, 2026.
These changes could impact food access for hundreds of thousands of Illinois residents. To help neighbors understand whether they qualify for an exemption, we encourage residents to use the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) SNAP screener tool and application forms, which our office will continue to share and promote.
For more information and ongoing updates, visit wegotyouillinois.org/updates or call the Illinois ABE hotline at 800-843-6154.

| Reminder: Don’t Feed the Pigeons (Seriously!) As much as we all love our feathered friends, feeding pigeons does more harm than good — attracting rats, damaging property, and creating a mess for neighbors and local businesses. A friendly reminder that feeding pigeons is actually against City ordinance. Let’s do our part to keep the ward safe and sanitary for everyone. |

| | | | | | Houseless Neighbors Updates |
|
| The Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) has informed my office that the temporary family shelter at the American Islamic College located at 640 W Irving Park (AIC) will officially close on June 30th, 2026. This closure is part of a planned shelter decompression and is being coordinated with the current shelter operator KLEO, DFSS and partner agencies.
KLEO, in collaboration with DFSS, will provide transitional support to current neighbors living at AIC. All shelter residents will be offered placement at other family shelters across the city based on school needs, shelter availability and resident choice. Decompression will happen in multiple phases over the next few months to not disrupt the school year for children. KLEO staff will remain on site through the closure date and will continue providing services and guidance during this transition.
Over two years ago, just a few months after taking office our entire city was tasked with showing up for thousands of new neighbors who endured horrible conditions to find a better life. My office is proud and grateful we were able to meet this unprecedented moment with the help of neighbors, our local schools, mutual aid networks, faith based organizations, the Chicago Police Department and city departments. The evolution and success of this family shelter allowed our most vulnerable neighbors, many of them children, to have a safe space with wrap-around services as they transition into permanent housing.
If you are aware of local landlords who are interested in filling affordable units in their buildings, please reach out to our office as we are collecting local housing resources to share with neighbors who want to stay in the area. A special shout out to 19th District Mutual Aid, an organization that formed to meet the needs of new arrivals during the peak of the crisis. Visit their website here for ways to continue to support their mission.
Over the next couple of months, our office will continue to meet with KLEO and DFSS to ensure that the shelter transition happens smoothly. We will share updates and information as we receive it and encourage anyone with questions to reach out to us at [email protected] or via 773-878-4646.

The Department of Water Management began conducting emergency repairs to the sewer main on the 4300 Block of Broadway. This work is expected to last up to two weeks and will require street closures and traffic detours to maintain safe working conditions for the repair crew. The 100-year old sewer has suffered an internal collapse creating a high risk of backups and basement flooding.
Broadway is currently closed to traffic between Cullom and the Jewel-Osco parking lot exit and drivers will need to use Sheridan as a detour - see the diagram below. As the repairs continue the location of work will shift to the north, potentially requiring closure of the Sheridan/Broadway intersection for several days. Sidewalks will repair open during construction.
This work will not impact residents' or businesses' water or sewer service. Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) Bus (#36) will continue to run in both directions using Broadway, Sheridan, Irving Park, and Broadway.
Our office is in contact with the Department of Water Management and will continue to share updates as we receive them. Thank you for your patience as crews work to repair the sewer main. |

Last week, we hosted a community meeting for neighbors to discuss and learn about a development proposal by Sarah's Circle at 4458 N. Clarendon. If you missed the meeting but want to see the presentation - click here to check it out!
Sarah’s Circle is a social service organization that has been serving single, unaccompanied women experiencing homelessness since 1979. They have grown over the years to serve over 700 women annually through four programs: the Daytime Support Center, Interim Housing Program, Rapid Rehousing Program, and Permanent Supportive Housing Program. Sarah’s Circle currently owns and manages 3 properties in Uptown - each containing apartments and program space. |
|
|
|
The proposed development - called "Sarah's on Sunnyside" - will be a 54-unit, 7-story new construction permanent supportive housing development. All units, studios of approximately 460 square feet, will be targeted to women at risk of homelessness who earn no more than 30% of AMI (area median income) - currently $25,000 per year. Building amenities will include a community room with kitchenette, a therapeutic garden, sensory room, and 24/7 onsite staffing including security and property management staff. Sarah’s Circle will provide supportive services to all tenants and will manage the property.
This building would only take up the northern third of the lot and would be the first of 3 potential buildings to be built on the site. The development does not require a zoning change due to the existing zoning entitlements on the site and only requires Lakefront Protection Ordinance (LPO) approval at Plan Commission. You can read more about the proposal by checking out all of the details on our Zoning and Development webpage here!
Please let us know what you think by filling out our feedback survey! It will remain for two weeks through Friday, February 6. As always, please reach out to our office via phone or email if you have any questions. |
