In Illinois the need for social service aid soars as resources shrink

Local social service organizations say they’re struggling to keep pace with requests for help from the rising number of poor people in the face of government funding cuts and a continued weak economy that also has reduced charitable giving.

At Hesed House homeless shelter in Aurora, demand for help has come in waves, said Executive Director Ryan Dowd.

“Since the recession began, we’re probably on our fourth or fifth major wave of new homeless individuals and families,” he said. “This last wave, being the worst yet, hit in August. We set an all-time agency record for most number of people in one night.

“We had every bed in the whole building full. We pushed tables aside to put down more beds. We had people sleeping in chairs and had seven people volunteer to sleep outside.”

As the only homeless shelter in Aurora, he’s worried about the winter months.

“If we reach the point where we say we have maximum capacity, at that point we’re not referring to another shelter. We’re referring to a bridge. The game starts to change because sleeping outside is no longer just a nuisance or an inconvenience, it’s potentially deadly.”

Food pantries say they’re also feeling strained. All nine of the food pantries operated by Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago were severely depleted at the end of August—a first for the organization, said Chief Executive Officer Monsignor Michael Boland.

On a recent weekday at the Catholic Charities food pantry in South Holland, the shelves were sparse with food.

Catholic Charities has responded to the shortage of food and funding by encouraging more people to have food drives and by reducing the days and hours some pantries are open.

The Aurora Area Interfaith Food Pantry has had to decrease the amount of food it gives out because of a surge in the number of people needing help, said Marilyn Weisner, executive director.

The shelter gets grant funding from the Emergency Food Shelter program, but the federal program’s budget was cut by 40 percent for this fiscal year, she said. Another federal program run through the U.S. Department of Agriculture last August provided 12,000 pounds of food to the pantry.

“This August, we got 6,000,” Weisner said. “We’ve been told that budget was also cut and we can expect to see that kind of decrease ongoing.”

Meanwhile the amount of money brought in through fundraising was down over the last fiscal year, she said.

State funding for homeless shelters was cut by 52 percent for fiscal year 2012 in the Department of Human Services budget, Dowd said, noting the shelter used to get around $135,000 but now gets about $65,000.

“Why homeless shelters got cut by over half in the middle of a recession is a complete mystery to me, but that’s the reality,” he said.

The shelter, a comprehensive homeless resource center, provides case management housing services, job training and employment services, as well as mental health, legal and substance abuse counseling services and help to veterans and children.

“The good news is we’re getting people employed,” Dowd said of recent hiring results. “The bad news is that (those in need) are just coming in so much faster than they were before that we can’t keep up.”

During normal economic times, the shelter gets in 16 new people each week and gets out 16 people per week, Dowd said. But these aren’t normal times.

“Now it’s 30 to 40 people coming in per week, and we’re only getting 17 people out,” Dowd said. “That’s a problem.”

The shelter, meant to accommodate 145, has had as many as 214 people housed there on a record night.

At Chicago-based Heartland Human Care Services, its Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program, a federal stimulus-funded program through the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services, is slated to end next June. The program allows for up to 18 months of assistance, including a short-term housing subsidy and case management and housing location services.

“In the last two years, we’ve had to close our referral lines at least three times because we’d gone beyond our caseload capacity for the program,” said Lisa Mayse-Lillig, Heartland’s director of housing services.

Social service organizations don’t expect the situation to improve soon, particularly with stimulus-funded programs to aid people ending and unemployment benefits for the long-term unemployed running out in the still weak job market.

“There are going to be households that just are not going to be able to make it on their own,” said Mayse-Lillig.

“The challenges are going to be extraordinary,” Boland said. “The people that come to us want to work. But there doesn’t seem to be a lot of opportunities for employment, which really would solve a lot of problems because if (people are) working, they can pay their bills. If they can pay their bills, it has a ripple effect” reducing the need for help.

United Way of Metropolitan Chicago, which is also grappling with greater need, said its worked to be more strategic in how resources are deployed so they can have greater impact.

Boland said, “obviously, the more generous people can be to helping, whether that’s with food drives or clothing drives or ways of reaching out to help people, that would be a tremendous thing to do.”

But he stressed, now isn’t the time for government paralysis, given the immensity of the challenges, adding, corporations need to focus more of their charitable giving to organizations working on the front-lines to help the poor.

“I think corporations have to realize we are in a crisis, one that is really affecting a lot of people,” he said.

AAPD Commends FCC for Reinstating Television Video Description : Aug 2011

FCC Reinstates Accessibility Rules for Blind People under
New Accessible Communications Law

WASHINGTON, DC – August 29, 2011 – The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) commends the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for releasing rules reinstating video description of television. Video description makes television programs accessible to people with visual disabilities by providing narrated descriptions of a program’s key visual elements inserted into natural pauses in the TV program’s dialogue. The rules will go into effect in July of 2012.
“This is a huge victory for accessibility,” said AAPD President and CEO Mark Perriello. “The FCC’s decision will make television more accessible for millions of Americans,” he added.
The FCC’s decision reinstates rules that the FCC adopted in 2000 and that a federal court struck down in 2002. In response, the Coalition of Organizations for Accessible Technology (COAT), which AAPD co-founded in 2007 with the American Council of the Blind, American Foundation for the Blind, and other organizations, began a campaign to restore full access to television programming. In 2010, the U.S. Congress paved the way for reinstating video transcription when it enacted the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA). This new law required reinstatement of video description rules, among other accessible technology requirements.
“Accessible television demonstrates America’s strong commitment to the civil rights of people with disabilities,” Perriello said further. “Our blind communities will not only be able to enjoy the cultural information and entertainment that video content providers offer, but they can now be part of the conversations around it, further fulfilling the goal of equality for all people with disabilities under the law.”

President Obama Has Ended the War in Iraq : video & press release : Oct 21, 2011

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release October 21, 2011

Remarks by the President on Ending the War in Iraq

James S. Brady Press Briefing Room

THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody. As a candidate for President, I pledged to bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end -- for the sake of our national security and to strengthen American leadership around the world. After taking office, I announced a new strategy that would end our combat mission in Iraq and remove all of our troops by the end of 2011.

As Commander-in-Chief, ensuring the success of this strategy has been one of my highest national security priorities. Last year, I announced the end to our combat mission in Iraq. And to date, we’ve removed more than 100,000 troops. Iraqis have taken full responsibility for their country’s security.

A few hours ago I spoke with Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki. I reaffirmed that the United States keeps its commitments. He spoke of the determination of the Iraqi people to forge their own future. We are in full agreement about how to move forward.

So today, I can report that, as promised, the rest of our troops in Iraq will come home by the end of the year. After nearly nine years, America’s war in Iraq will be over.

Over the next two months, our troops in Iraq -- tens of thousands of them -- will pack up their gear and board convoys for the journey home. The last American soldier[s] will cross the border out of Iraq with their heads held high, proud of their success, and knowing that the American people stand united in our support for our troops. That is how America’s military efforts in Iraq will end.

But even as we mark this important milestone, we’re also moving into a new phase in the relationship between the United States and Iraq. As of January 1st, and in keeping with our Strategic Framework Agreement with Iraq, it will be a normal relationship between sovereign nations, an equal partnership based on mutual interests and mutual respect.

In today’s conversation, Prime Minister Maliki and I agreed that a meeting of the Higher Coordinating Committee of the Strategic Framework Agreement will convene in the coming weeks. And I invited the Prime Minister to come to the White House in December, as we plan for all the important work that we have to do together. This will be a strong and enduring partnership. With our diplomats and civilian advisors in the lead, we’ll help Iraqis strengthen institutions that are just, representative and accountable. We’ll build new ties of trade and of commerce, culture and education, that unleash the potential of the Iraqi people. We’ll partner with an Iraq that contributes to regional security and peace, just as we insist that other nations respect Iraq’s sovereignty.

As I told Prime Minister Maliki, we will continue discussions on how we might help Iraq train and equip its forces -- again, just as we offer training and assistance to countries around the world. After all, there will be some difficult days ahead for Iraq, and the United States will continue to have an interest in an Iraq that is stable, secure and self-reliant. Just as Iraqis have persevered through war, I’m confident that they can build a future worthy of their history as a cradle of civilization.

Here at home, the coming months will be another season of homecomings. Across America, our servicemen and women will be reunited with their families. Today, I can say that our troops in Iraq will definitely be home for the holidays.

This December will be a time to reflect on all that we’ve been though in this war. I’ll join the American people in paying tribute to the more than 1 million Americans who have served in Iraq. We’ll honor our many wounded warriors and the nearly 4,500 American patriots -- and their Iraqi and coalition partners -- who gave their lives to this effort.

And finally, I would note that the end of war in Iraq reflects a larger transition. The tide of war is receding. The drawdown in Iraq allowed us to refocus our fight against al Qaeda and achieve major victories against its leadership -- including Osama bin Laden. Now, even as we remove our last troops from Iraq, we’re beginning to bring our troops home from Afghanistan, where we’ve begun a transition to Afghan security and leadership. When I took office, roughly 180,000 troops were deployed in both these wars. And by the end of this year that number will be cut in half, and make no mistake: It will continue to go down.

Meanwhile, yesterday marked the definitive end of the Qaddafi regime in Libya. And there, too, our military played a critical role in shaping a situation on the ground in which the Libyan people can build their own future. Today, NATO is working to bring this successful mission to a close.

So to sum up, the United States is moving forward from a position of strength. The long war in Iraq will come to an end by the end of this year. The transition in Afghanistan is moving forward, and our troops are finally coming home. As they do, fewer deployments and more time training will help keep our military the very best in the world. And as we welcome home our newest veterans, we’ll never stop working to give them and their families the care, the benefits and the opportunities that they have earned.

This includes enlisting our veterans in the greatest challenge that we now face as a nation -- creating opportunity and jobs in this country. Because after a decade of war, the nation that we need to build -- and the nation that we will build -- is our own; an America that sees its economic strength restored just as we’ve restored our leadership around the globe.

Thank you very much.

END

CORRECTION: “Now, even as we remove our last troops from Iraq, we’re beginning to bring our troops home from Afghanistan, where we’ve begun a transition to Afghan security and leadership.”

OUR FIRST EVER DISABILITY CULTURE ZINE! - The National Youth Leadership Network Oct 2011

The National Youth Leadership Network is proud to announce:
OUR FIRST EVER DISABILITY CULTURE ZINE!

The National Youth Leadership Network is a youth-led organization that works to build power and community among young people with disabilities. This summer, our Zine Leadership Team put out a call for submissions to create an online zine about disability culture.

We received over 40 submissions from young people with disabilities all over the United States. Some were students. Others were poets. Everyone had a lot to say about disability culture. Our Zine Leadership Team edited submissions and compiled all the work into a zine. We are excited to share our zine with you. We learned so much about media-making in the process: mostly that by participating in disability culture, we are creating it.

To read our zine, visit http://zine.nyln.org

If you enjoy what you read, please consider making a donation to support the production of our next zine. You can make a donation at www.nyln.org. See the link in the lower left corner.

We would like to thank all contributors and volunteer editors for their hard work in making this edition of the NYLN Zine possible. This zine was made 100% for and by disabled youth!

WHAT IS A ZINE?

zine (prounounced "zeen" --- like the last syllable of "magazine") is a publication usually made by hand and mass produced by a copy machine. It revolutionized media making because anyone could make their own books and sell them for a few bucks. People also make online zines.

ABOUT US:

The National Youth Leadership Network is a nonprofit organization run by and for disabled youth. We build power and community among youth with disabilities.

Anyone can become a member. To find out more about NYLN, visit www.nyln.org. To contact us, please email us at info@nyln.org or call us at 866-480-6565.

U. S. Senate Committee considering Safe Schools for Students with Disabilities Oct 2011

The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions is considering the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), which provides funding for public schools nationwide.

Access to quality education is a critical civil right, so we’re working hard to make sure that any bill Congress passes and the President signs on to contains strong, effective protections for students with disabilities.
Bullying interferes with student’s education and makes school a hostile place; students with disabilities are far more likely than their peers to be bullied, and are losing out on the education that is their right. We’re fighting to make sure the Senate includes requirements that school districts to create policies that prevent bullying and harassment. But we can’t win this fight without you.

Please call your Senators and ask them to include an anti-bullying provision in ESEA.
