Austin’s Hispanic residents face hurdles dealing with ood

Activist sites language barrier, immigration status, lack of outreach

By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

As Austinites continue to grapple with the fallout from the July 2 flooding, local churches and community organizations tried to step in to help –but the community’s growing Hispanic population may be getting left behind.

During a July 18 community meeting organized by the Westside Health Authority’s Good Neighbors Campaign, Maricela Delgado, who has lived in Austin for the past five years, asked whether the organization was doing anything to reach out to Spanish-speaking residents. She pointed to several issues – many of these residents speak little to no English, so they struggle to navigate the city’s 311 service calls systems and other resources. Some of them are also undocumented and are thus reluctant to reach out to any government service.

In a follow-up interview with Austin Weekly News, she also said many suppo rt systems that exist are geared toward the more established Black population. During the meeting, WHA staf f acknowledged the lack of Spanish-speakers is an issue – but they were determined to do their best to help Latino Austinites

Race in 7th District primary is gathering contenders vs. Davis

Chicago City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Er vin expects to declare candidac y in early fall

By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

While the Democratic primary is still nine months away, long-time incumbent U.S. Rep. Danny Davis (7th) is already two declared challengers, one challenger who hasn’t declared yet, and a perennial conservative candidate banking on the fact that nobody else will run in a Republican primary in the heavily Democratic district.

Austin activist Kina Collins, who ran against Davis twice in the Democratic primary, is challenging him again. She came much closer to winning the primary in 2022 than she did in 2020, and she believes that she can improve on those number Pilsen teacher Nikhil Bhatia announced his intention to run in late June. And while Chicago city treasurer and for mer state re presentative Melissa Conyears-Ervin hasn’t officially announced her run, her congressional campaign committee has already raised $283,436. In an interview with this newspaper, ConyearsErvin said she will announce her run in early f all.

Chad Koppie, a far mer from Elgin, ran for various local and state-wide offices over the years. Now he is running as a Republican after mounting an unsuccessful write-in campaign in 2022. According to his campaign, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the district isn’t likely to get any other Republican candidates to campaign in both the primary and the general election. The primary will take place on March 19, 2024, and the general election will take place on Nov. 5, 2024.

Collins first ran against Davis in 2020,

getting 13.8% of the vote in the Democratic primary. She did nearly three times as well in 2022, earning 45.6% of the vote.

Collins said she thought long and hard about whether she wanted to run again, but her supporters ultimately swayed her.

“My supporters, residents in the district [and] my donors thought it was a good idea for me to r un again,” she said.

Collins believes her campaign can build of f of her record and improve on her numbers.

“We’re offering something different to the district, and I think that our field game has expanded, and our support has expanded, and my face recnition and my name reco gnition has expanded,” she said. In a July 11 campaign launch press conference, she got support from several Chicago aldermen both within and outside the district, though none of them the West Side. Collins endorsed Ald. year’s runof f Davis-backed C.B. Johnson, but she said he hasn favor yet.

“I would lo his endorsement,” Collins said. fer ro is my constituent in this district, so I’m going to court his vote just like I’m going to court any other across the district.”

ments from se the police district councils, including 15 cil president Carmelita Earls and 11th District council member Alees Edwards. Edwards was one of the district council candidates Davis endorsed.

On the suburban side, Collins received endorsements from village trustees Susan Buchanan, Ravi Parakkat, Lucia Robinson and Brian Straw.

“I think that elected [officials’] support that we have are elected officials who are

overwhelmingly popular, they have big bases,” she said. “They made it clear that they were going to put their resources and their volunteers behind our campaign.”

O ther candidates

Conyears-Ervin served as a state representative for the 10th District, which fell entirely within Chicago and included West and East Garfield Parks, from 2017 to 2019, when she was elected city treasurer in a three-way race. She ran unopposed in 2023. She is married to Ald. Jason Ervin (28th), who contributed a total of $3,000 to her cong re gational campaign through various campaign committees.

In April, she for med an exploratory committee to look at a run for Davis’ seat should the incumbent decide not to run. After Davis announced on June 10 that he would run ears-Ervin told the Chicago Sun-Times that she would pursue the seat anyway. In an interview with this , she said she intends to officially launch her camfall. ConyearsErvin said that, as a life-long 7th District resident, she wanted to be “a new breath of fresh air.” While she said she would reveal a detailed campaign platform once she makes the official announcement, foundation of .

Bhatia said he was running to improve the education system and believed that Davis was no longer up to the task of representing his constituents.

“Unfortunately, Danny Davis is not getting the job done anymore,” he stated. “Our communities deserve a congressman that will work as hard as they do, stand up to corporate interests, and bring new ideas to Washington.”

New Moms apartment tenants r

Volunteers, donations needed as costs mount

By STACEY SHERIDAN Senior Reporter

Non-profit New Moms is in need of extra volunteers and financial aid as the flood damage sustained earlier this month prompted the temporary evacuation of 40 families living in the New Moms Transformation Center in Austin. All of those families have experienced homelessness in the past, making the removal from their apartments all the more painful, while work to repair the building drags on.

“We don’t want to retraumatize them with the instability of all of this,” said Laura Zumdahl, New Moms CEO and president. “But that is kind of the reality of the challenge at the moment, and of course, costs are mounting.”

The families were immediately removed from the building, following the severe storms and flash flooding July 2, and placed into hotels, all paid for by New Moms, the Austin- and Oak Park-based support agency for mothers aged 24 and under. The non-profit is providing the displaced families with food and essentials, cash assistance, transportation and ongoing support.

The damage to the building at 5317 W. Chicago Ave. goes beyond the typical mold remediation. The flooding had a domino effect, kicking off a series of different infrastructure problems. The heavy rainfall flooded the basement of the center, which serves as the non-profit’s headquarters, and that initial damage was exacerbated by an electrical fire that broke out shortly after.

To repair the electrical system, the build-

ing’s power had to be disconnected by the Chicago Fire Department and ComEd. This cut off electricity to the sump pump, and having taken in several inches of water, a water tank was dislodged in the pump room. The tank broke away from a pipe, and the basement was filled with over six feet of water, resulting in a “catastrophic failure of all systems in the building.” Computer servers were lost, and historical documents destroyed.

The building continues to be without power, as electricians and contractors work to mend the significant electrical damage,

including an inoperable elevator and heating and air conditioning system, making the building uninhabitable at the moment.

The financial loss facing New Moms is expected to be as high as $500,000, with at least $100,000 in costs not covered by insurance. An insurance settlement has yet to be received and the final amount remains unclear. Immediate and essential support for the families, which insurance won’t cover, has already cost over $50,000 – and it’s still unclear as to when the families, whose possessions were thankfully not damaged, can move back into the building.

“We’re hoping that in the next week that’ll happen,” said Zumdahl. “It’s been a real challenge.”

Part of that challenge has been getting what is required to make the fixes. With so many buildings in the area affected by the flash floods, there was a shortage of available contractors. Once a firm was secured and the damage assessed, supply chain issues made it difficult to get the replacement parts needed to repair infrastructure systems within the building.

For these reasons, it has been hard to pin down a timeframe for when tenants can return, but the crews are moving as quickly

as possible to get the building back up and running, working every weekend. Their electrician even had someone take a 24hour trip to Nevada, drive all the way there and back to get a part because it was the fastest option, according to Zumdahl.

“They’ve really risen to the challenge, which we’re grateful for,” said Zumdahl.

With all the hard work already put in, Zumdahl expects the New Moms organization will still be in need of volunteers. Given that the agency’s needs keep changing, Zumdahl was unable to specify the type of assistance that will be asked of volunteers.

A group of volunteers helped with flood cleanup by moving stuf f out of the building before professional cleaners arrived. Now that cleanup has already been taken care of, she anticipates families will need help moving back into the building. And as a nonprofit, New Moms relies on donations to carry out the mission of helping young mothers and their children.

“We won’t be able to do it without a community of support around us,” Zumdahl said.

To volunteer, please send an email to volunteer@newmoms.org. Donations can be made at www.newmoms.org/donate

Sewage water is a breeding ground for ies

Iam still cleaning out my basement from the recent flood. I’m not alone as I still see neighbors putting ruined furn i ture and other sodden p ossessions out in the alley for the ga rbage collector

One of the problems the flood water created is sewage, the perfect breeding ground for flie s. And boy has my back ya rd been filled with them. When I was outdoor s, the number of flies buzzing about seem li ke something out of a documentary from Africa, hundreds of flies swar ming about.

I do put out fly traps every year. This year I tried a new one that was ve ry pretty but totally inef fect ive. It was some sort of hanging glue stick with a blue cage that went around it, alle gedly designed to attract flies without a

FLOOD

Impact on Hispanics

from page 1

According to the U.S. Census, Austin’s Hispanic population more than doubled between 2010 and 2020, going from 8.85% of the community area’s population to 19.25% of the population. Over the years, various sources told Austin Weekly News that the shift has to do with gentrification in traditionally Mexican and Puerto Rican communities such as Logan Square, Pilsen and Humboldt Park. Delgado echoed those accounts, while also mentioning that some come from Little Village

She said when she and her family moved to the central Austin area near Levin Park, they were one of the first two Hispanic families on the block. Since then, the number has grown to at least 20.

Delgado said that, while they experienced some basement flooding in the past, it was nothing like the July 2 floods.

“I lost a lot of things – washer, dryer, furnace, water tank,” she said. “I lost a lot of ir re placeable items as far as photos, awards [my daughter won] and stuf f,

smelly bait. The cage was d esigned to ke ep large butterflies and hummingbirds from getting stuck to it After hanging it from my ga rage, I was ve ry disappointed to see that it attracted only a small number of flie s, along with a number of ladybugs. A fl trap that catches ladybugs is not a good sign. It also c aught wh at appeared to be bees or wasp s. I do n’ t mind the wasp, but bees are too essential to my ga rden and this wo rl d to see any of them killed. So I tossed that one in the ga rbage and went back to the old t ried-and-true bait trap with the smelly

attractant.

T he one I got is the kind where you cut the plasti c bag’s round opening at the top, pull out the little green p lug and then use a strin g or tie to hang it. You add a cer tain amount of water and the flies obviously got the message because they be ga n to swar m. The first one I hung, was three-four ths f ull in less than 24 hours! Reading the literature from the manufacturer’s we bsit e, they claim the bag can hold up to 20,000 flie s. And I b eli eve I had almost that many! T he bag had only been up for two days when I had to close it and throw

it aw ay. I hung a second one and ag ai n it is filling up quickly. At $6 a bag, tha t is a ve ry expensive, but ve ry successful method of getting rid of flie s. Seve ra l p eople online said I could purchase the reusable variety, but I’ll pass on that idea. I also pulled out my bug zappe r. Hopefully as the number of flie s attracted to the flytrap diminishes, the bug zapper can pick up the slack. T here’s no more comforting sound than hearing the sizzling coming from the zapper as another fly is killed I am still waiting to hear wh at the city is planning to do to compensate those of us who have lost a lot due to their ne gligenc e. Right about now, I wish the city had the $51 million to spend on its citizens to help alleviate the problem it helped to create.

quinceanera items.”

Delgado said that as someone who grew up in an immigrant family trying to get by, she wanted to see what she could do to help her neighbors.

“I always go above and beyond, to help them,” she said. “Whatever I can do, I always try to advocate for people, it doesn’t matter if they’re Latinos or not, whatever I can do to help people in those situations.”

While getting the word out about available resources, or even helping remove damaged furniture, was something all her neighbors could benefit from, Delgado said Hispanic residents face unique challenges

She gave an example of one neighbor who knew of assistance available in Cicero and Berwyn, which have large Hispanic populations, but had no idea about where she could tur n in Chicago.

“She didn’t know how to download the [311] app, she didn’t know how to go and answer the questions [on the claim form],” Delgado said. “I mean, I’m very well spoken, and it was for me, it was dif ficult answering those questions, because I didn’t know what some of those things meant.”

That same neighbor str uggled with

the language bar rier and was undocumented. Delgado said she helped her with re porting the loss and assured her that her immigration status wouldn’ t af fect her ability to get city aid.

“[My neighbor] started crying to me,” Delg ado said. “She lost so much. She was barely making the ends meet, and now with the flooding, it was a devastating loss.”

She said she and her family helped seven families in the area that faced similar issues, but Delgado suspected there were more people who could use that kind of help

“I also know that there are probably more people that are struggling and are not given this information,” she said.

Delg ado said one issue facing Austin’s Hispanic community is that they fall outside the support network of faith leaders and community org anizations that grew over the decades. Rev. Ira Acree, of Greater St. John Holiness Baptist Church, 1256 N. Waller Ave., previously told Austin Weekly News that members of his cong re gation volunteered to remove water-damaged furniture. Delgado said she was personally aware of area churches holding meetings to help connect residents to

resources, but she felt that “they don’ t cater to Hispanic residents.”

“I don’ t think there’s really a hub or an organization in Austin for Latinos at the moment,” she said.

During the July 18 meeting, Westside Health Authority of ficials urged residents to share their contact information so that they can get help from Good Neighbor Campaign volunteers or other organizations. Delgado asked about the availability of Spanish language materials, and whether there has been any kind of outreach to Hispanic residents.

“I just want to know what we as the community in Austin are doing about all the stuf f that’s getting lost in translation,” she said.

Kyler Winfrey, who helps handle WHA’s community outreach, responded that while the Good Neighbor Campaign itself doesn’t have anyone who is bilingual, his employer was still interested in helping the residents the best they could

“We do have some people in the company that may be able to assist them,” he said. “I would have them call [WHA office number] anyway, or email, the best way they can, so we try to g et a better system going.”

LORET TO STRIKE

with, that Loretto cannot continue and we are preparing to strike,” union leader Greg Kelley, president of SEIU HCII, said at a press conference outside of the safety net hospital at 645 S. Central Ave.

Kelley called on the hospital’s leader ship to “do what’s necessary to change the conditions at this hospital and change the conditions for the folks who rely on this hospital.” Several workers echoed his plea, calling on Loretto management to “do the right thing.”

“When we asked Loretto to agree to the minimum wages required to address shor t staf fing, what other hospitals are already providing, they just flatly refused,” Kelley said. “And unless Loretto changes its stance, we will be out on strike.”

Union of ficials said about 200 Loretto workers are ready to go on strike in 10 days if they cannot come to an agreement with Loretto’s management over a “fair and decent contract.” Hospital workers are demanding that management take ste ps to increase staffing across departments and raise wages. Those ste ps, they said, would reduce staf f turnover and improve hiring, they said.

“Staf f become injured due to a lack of staffing,” said Wellington Thomas, lead ER technician at Loretto Hospital.

Loretto’s workers demanded competitive wages, “similar to what other hospitals pay,” Kelley said, adding substandard wages increase staf f turnover and drive shor t staffing. He was unable to give specifics re garding the increase in pay demanded citing varying pay grades across job positions. He alluded to a contract negotiated with Mount Sinai Hospital on the Near West Side by the union earlier this year which included “significant” wage raises and “language” to address staffing issues

“We came to the table but after going back and for th bargaining, it was in my opinion almost a disappointment,” Thomas said, adding management “has failed to acknowledge” the value of health care workers, which increased after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Loretto’s workers denounced management saying it has failed to hire more per manent staf f to fill in vacant positions across several de partments. Last summer, they called on state lawmakers to step in to address the hospital’s short staffing to

Wellington

improve patient and staf f safety. Kelley said the hospital has failed to uphold its promises; for example, workers were promised to have at least 3 to 5 ER technicians in the emergency room but they say there are only two technicians and at times, only one.

“Many agencies are hired to keep the hospital afloat,” Thomas said. “How about bringing in some appropriate rates to the hospital workers that dedicate themselves and retain these staf f employees?”

Union of ficials said staf f vacancy rates range from 25% to 35%. Thomas estimates some depar tments have up to 40% vacancy rates. In the last 18 months, about five healthcare workers were injured while performing their job, he said. Three of them required surgery, he added. Austin Weekly News was unable to confirm this information with Loretto Hospital officials

Shor t staffing has also pushed workers to work long hours with limited time of f. It is common for staf f to work six to seve days a week, with 12 hour shifts each da Kelley said. “How is it even sustainable?” he asked.

Tabitha Fulton, a nuclear medicine technician at Loretto Hospital, said it takes all departments to run a hospital, from environmental services to dieticians to other roles that are unfulfilled or have high turnover.

“It’s very hard to run a hospital missing those important roles, so everyone here

needs to have a living wage,” she said.

Chicago activist Andrew Holmes, who attended the announcement to support

Loretto’s unionized workers, called on elected officials to support unions outside election time

“When you’ re running, you want these unions to support you and you want their members to vote for you,” Holmes said. “Guess what? Come over here and help

he union could reach an ag reement in coming days as it is in “constant conversations” with management, Kelley told Auseekly.

While there is hope that Loretto’s new leadership will move in a different direction than prior administrations, the union wants to send a message that workers are ared to do what is needed to bring change to a hospital that has been “under d and under resourced” for years, he

Loretto Hospital is one of three Illinois safety net hospitals –including Roseland Hospital and St. Bernard Hospital – negotiating at the bargaining table, union officials said. “The days for settling for less are over,” Kelley said, adding Loretto’s healthcare workers want to make sure their voices are heard, joining other labor movements nationwide demanding employers do better
