Once a thriving and vibrant part of Chicago, the West Side of Chicago was home to many physicians, lawyers, teachers, dentists, and other professionals. However, during the riots of the late 1960's and early 1970's, homeowners and businesses fled the West side communities known as Garfield Park, Austin, Lawndale, and Humboldt Park. In their place came poverty, unemployment, substance abuse, violence, gang activity, and racial segregation. All of which lead to the deterioration of families.
  • An examination of Garfield Park community schools reveal that in our neighborhood High School 0% of students exceeded the state standards, and only 41% of freshmen graduated within 5 years (CPS Scorecard, 2007-08).
  • In 2005, the poverty rate on Chicago's Westside was 33%, with an unemployment rate of 15% (American Community Survey, 2005).
  • In 2005, median household income of the Westside was $29,900 and 65.4% of families were female-headed (American Community Survey, 2005).
