Up next, concerns over plans to clear out humble parks, homelessness, encampment.

That's right.

After this.

>> Chicago tonight, Latino voices.

It's made possible in part by the support of these donors.

>> Advocates for the unhoused community are not in favor of the city's plan to clear out the humble park encampment last month Alderperson Jesse Flint, this of the 26 ward along with city officials announced a proposal to remove all tents from the area before the holidays as part of Humble Park Encampment, Housing initiative, the city plans to start removal tomorrow morning.

But advocates want officials to reconsider and explore other options.

Joining us is Ellie Simmonds senior case and street outreach worker with the law project at the Chicago Lucian to end homelessness.

And we also invited the area's Alderperson.

Jesse Point is to join us for this conversation.

But she declined her office provided us with the statement which we'll get to in a moment.

Ali, thank you for joining us.

I want to start off.

What are your main concerns about removing the encampment in Humble Park?

>> The main concern is you know, there's pattern being displayed that CBO said down, you public spaces where individuals have the whales to go to go can no longer that.

That's the main concern.

And, you know, without somewhere safe to go game, you know what the options?

>> So you mentioned patterns and we've seen situations like this before with the homeless encampment in Rogers Park being cleared out.

So you're saying that this is something that you often see.

>> It where we're seeing more of it now.

Yes.

>> Would you say there is positive results from that?

>> Can say that there are positive results from it and that some people have gotten house.

But, you know, the downside, he is a lot of people who are in these encampments are getting house and then your clothes and the spaces down permanently so that anybody who was experiencing homelessness or may experience homelessness in the future cannot access the And let's talk more about that.

What services could this removal disrupt?

>> removes a services like access to social stops folks like a lot of individuals who are unsheltered don't have telephones.

They don't have means communication There are social workers who are protesting individuals there are or house and organizations you know, working with in the to try to get them out.

>> And if you disrupt this, can't move in.

We don't know where the of a grants.

>> And older person Fuentes plan is set to include 63 free apartments for people living in the encampment as well as signing off 450 new affordable units in her ward.

But as we know, advocates are still concerned.

Tell us, you know why you just mentioned some of the resources going to be people can may not have access to.

>> Yes, and as far as I understand it, there are that the number has been said to be 63, but I think less than that with actually run house.

>> You have some people who have reconnected to organizations that's going to work with them to find housing.

But as of right now, they are not house and a lot of bill what we're still in a camp.

>> So what does that mean?

Does that mean if yes, they get connected to these organizations?

That means still living outside.

And why do you think keeping access to these public spaces is important?

>> Because we we as service providers, you know, speaking from a service provider perspective, we know where individual lying.

someone connected to a House, organization.

>> you know, we could goal in, you know, we know what and we know where, you individual that all we're of the view that with where they maybe we you know, find these individuals and make sure that they are convicted services.

All right.

mental health services being provided by drug addiction services being provided folks, if they are moved and you know, don't go to shelters, which a lot of don't want to do, then they are disconnected from those >> White talking about that.

Why do you think that some people don't want to go to homeless shelters and rather, you know, living encampment outside?

>> Each individual have their room, you know, personal reasons.

But I know from speaking with individuals prefer to live on the street a lot of don't like rules and regulations that shelters forced them to comply with it.

lot of them feel like seltzers are pretty did year.

They go to a shelter.

Indian government commits to house a lot of them have been no victim has in certain ways while in is just bad experiences for a lot people live in show.

>> So in, in your opinion, you believe that they can cap Humble park.

Should students should stay there?

Correct?

I do.

Yes.

Now, once again, we reached out to the other person's point this office and they provided us with the statement in part saying >> the solution to homelessness is not tense.

It's housing.

We have proved with cut ribbons and broken ground on over 400 new affordable housing units in the ward.

We're also working to open 2 non congregate shelters with the blocks of Humble park.

Together.

These efforts represent a deep and sustained commitment to addressing homelessness and housing insecurity in our ward.

Lee, would you say that the alderperson solutions are moving in the right direction?

>> No to solve the homelessness crisis.

I know this has I mean, something that we've talked about for decades in Chicago.

>> Yeah.

percent really applaud those But at the same time, closing down space like permanently so that no one could ever access into gear may be experiencing homelessness is not the solution.

And, you know, also is not the solution for those who have yet to be connected to house and are right now.

>> What areas do you feel still need to be addressed you?

You're out in the ground.

You know, what would you want people to know?

>> I just think there needs to be more affordable house.

You know?

>> There a lot of people out here experiencing homelessness and is not that they don't want to be how they don't prefer to, you know, live on the street.

They don't prefer live in shelter.

They prefer have their own space.

And rent is just ridiculous these days a lot of people do have jobs.

Lot of people don't hand out, you know, jobs that pay enough for them to keep up with the amount of rain as mandate.

So the only solution for creating more affordable House.

>> And as we know in January 1st, the city will decrease its overall shuck shelter beds with, of course, as we know, bringing the one system initiative with the homeless, the people who are in housten asylum seekers.

What do you think will be the result of that?

>> And amount of individuals who are unsheltered experiencing homelessness.

for Graham concludes.

>> And what is a Chicago Elysian to end homelessness advocating for us turn it solutions to solve the on House crisis.

>> Former they have to have to be a concerted effort to create affordable House.

>> Ali, is there any personal stories that you can share with our audience?

>> In terms of individuals from the can't.

>> Yes.

>> Yeah.

just feel like I one person.

I'm working Aussies from the humble park community.

She grew up.

There are moms stayed there.

A mom passed away.

You know why she was living there.

This the only community seen OC don't feel safe any other community.

Right now.

She's connected to of the possibility of being house.

But she is not house yet and she don't want to leave park.

>> Well, thank you really appreciate for joining us today.

>> No problem.

Thank you all.

I really appreciate it.

>> Up next, an investigation finds significant privacy violations in Chicago's migrant shelter system.

A new investigation unveils how Chicago's migrant shelter System is handled asylum seekers.

Private information.

The report comes from Borderless magazine and the investigative Project on race and equity.

They discovered the company that oversees the shelter system.

Favorite healthcare staffing has had federal complaints filed against them.

Allegations say shelter staff use personal devices to access and share my migrants information without proper security measures leading to potentially compromised data.

Joining us is Emmeline Poser, a reporter with the investigative Project on race and Equity.

Thank you for joining us.

We also reached out to the favorite healthcare staffing as well as the city.

But we did hear back.

I want you worked in the report that exposed them is handling of the migrant data.

Tell us a little bit about what happened.

Right?

So after we published a big investigation, looking at complaints filed the city's shelter system for migrants.

>> We heard from 2 contractors to former contractors from the shelters who said that they had filed a complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services about their concerns about systematic, potentially systematic mishandling of data in the shelters.

And is it normal for other shelters across the country or is really unusual?

>> Well, these contractors we had spoken with, they had spent years working in federal immigration facilities for unaccompanied migrant children.

And they said that how the data was, sensitive data was handled in the shelters was very different from how they had experienced at multiple different federal shelters where there were encrypted spreadsheets and workers were permitted to bring laptops home or work from personal devices.

So, yes, it was quite different.

But would you say stood out to the most?

Maybe we know you were shocked about.

It was most shocked by the fact you know, they're really didn't seem to be controls on who could access this very sensitive data were talking medical information, immigration on details, people's contact information and family members for there to be no limits on who can access or even modify these documents from the personal computer is that's just has huge implications.

You know, talking about that as as a result of the poor management that just spoke about the dozens of people became victims of extortion and threats and scams.

How did that happen?

You know, it's unclear.

Still on and hopefully we'll get more clarity about how that happened.

But for, you know, these 2 contractors we spoke with, they have heard from.

You know, 60 different current and former residents of the shelter who are as surprised as anyone else's to be receiving calls from Florida demands for money to be paid into accounts loan approval notices things that they never initiated.

Imagine when you get phone calls like that, you don't know if it's real or not.

Right now we talked to one of your pieces subjects and a nice event.

got to see a whole talked about her experience at the Super 8 shelter.

Let's listen to what she had to say.

>> Any good also in a is the gentle people getting getting a one-on-one matchup.

Get know, you and I don't want it a date.

Well, be able you know, not get boys get appointed coming out of way.

It is a check of this.

in the memo law was discussed.

It will, but it close to.

>> You know, he talked about some things that seemed unfair that were happening at the shelter, that she was staying.

What have you seen at the shelters?

What was the quality like?

Yeah.

So in our review of complaints filed from the shelters many interviews we've heard on across the city's shelters.

>> Just a lot of confusion about the distribution of resources that could be jackets or gift cards from local organizations more than anything.

Concerns about staff, misconduct and poor conducted staff members and ability to to get any resolution to it on any sort of justice for park conduct.

People have experienced talks about feeling voiceless and, you know, she also said that you felt complaints to the city and in her shelter even threatened to kick her out.

>> But he wrote that part of the conversation.

>> You come at the line and me a of ages.

was out on I'm a calls us process.

But but at that, was see Look that.

Then it was going it over the last couple of months.

>> What was your reaction when you started hearing that they were threatening people like Maine on the shelter to not speak out or take photos or video.

What was happening.

>> to be quite honest, it wasn't a big surprise just because the shelters have been so obscured from public you know, just try.

And there hasn't been a lot of transparency.

People committed to supported by that.

I just want to say that, you know, in speaking with now, more than a dozen former shelter staff, that really hasn't been an experience limited to migrants staying in the shelters most of the staff even tribute have also said they feel fearful of speaking out internally or externally because of fears of retaliation and their case of being terminated from their jobs and through doing this work and collaboration.

You know, what do you want?

People were reading this to take away.

>> You know, I really hope we can encourage more transparency and accountability for the kind the quality of care that the city and its contractors are providing in the shelters.

There were some discussions accountability earlier this year, but they didn't really lead anywhere.

Substantial.

And when we asked for more records of complaints from the city earlier this year and they declined to provide those records.

And while we have appealed that decision, I think it's disappointing and concerning that they're not willing at this point to provide more records about what kinds of complaints people are filing for.

That said they're shocked.

talking about complaints.

We know that I know is among many who filed complaints against favorite healthcare staffing.

The city is in fact, ending the contract with them at the beginning of the year.

What would you say happens next?

That's hard to say on the city will be integrating 3,800 I believe beds from the migrant shelter to creating of shelter system.

But I do believe we will continue to hear more voices from both migrants.

advocates about the quality of care provided in the shelters what people experienced and what people feel needs to change.

Talking about accountability.

Do think there will be accountability for the mistreatment of asylum seekers and that is unclear.

I hope that people seek accountability for themselves and and and for what they've experienced.

time will tell you think it's important like was a big deal that someone like me not spoke out.

I think it's an enormous deal.

I think people feel very vulnerable.

They have asylum cases that will be ongoing for the next couple of years.

people have a lot of fear about speaking out about put a misconduct and and harm experience under their names.

So I think it's a huge, huge deal and people are very brave to speak out about what they've experienced.

Well, thank you for being sharing this important.

Back with more right after this.

>> copy shop in the back of the Yards neighborhood is bringing a vibrant twist.

A Mexican flavors.

We sat down with the owners to hear about their mission to grow in their own community.
