Chicago’s Hull House closes after
120 years of service
By Shane Feratu and Scott Martin
8 February 2012
The
Jane Addams Hull House Association, one of the largest non-profit social
service organizations in Chicago, abruptly shut down on Friday, January 27th.
On January 19, the organization announced that funding difficulties would force
it to close in spring 2012. Three hundred staff members were given layoff
notices and a final paycheck on the day of the abrupt closure.
The Hull House building
The
Hull House provided housing assistance, child welfare, education, job training,
domestic violence relief, and many other services to about 60,000 people in the
Chicago area. According to former employees, other agencies cannot absorb the
clients, leaving thousands of people without essential services.
The
sudden shutdown, without a plan to maintain and transfer service, and little
notice to clients and staff, has raised sharp criticisms of the management of
the organization.
The
Hull House provided over 50 programs to the communities across Chicago. The
most prominent were childhood education, encompassing 19 percent of services
delivered, economic development and job training at 16 percent, community
schools services at 12 percent, child welfare at 12 percent and housing
services at 11 percent. However, Hull House served clients of all ages, through
domestic abuse services, homeless services, elder care and literacy programs.
Hull
House services went overwhelmingly to children and young adults. About one
fifth of clients were under 5 years of age, another one fifth were 6 to 10, and
about one fifth were 11 to 17. Two thirds of clients were female.
Over
85 percent of the Hull House clients live below the federal poverty line, which
was identified in 2011 as $22,350 for a family of four, and over 30 percent of
their clients live in federally defined “deep poverty,” which is a household
income of less than $11,025 for a family of four.
The
closure came as a shock to many people in the Chicago area. The Hull House has
provided services since Sept 18, 1889, more than 120 years, when it was
co-founded by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr on the near West side of
Chicago, Illinois. Out of 400 settlement houses in the United States in the
early 1900s, Hull House was the best known, with more than 40 locations in
Chicago. At its peak, 9,000 people were coming through the doors per week.
Its
main purpose was to be a center of educational and social opportunities for
working people, catering to all workers, especially European immigrants. Addams
and her team followed a principle that whatever race, gender or ethnicity a
person is, if given the opportunities a person can accomplish what he or she
wants. Her goal was to “aid in the solutions of life in a great city, to help
our neighbors build responsible, self-sufficient lives for themselves and their
families.” Amenities ranging from health care, art galleries and citizenship
classes to sports and gardening clubs were available.
In
contrast to the usual practice of wealthy philanthropists, Addams and the Hull
House staff lived where they worked, enabling them to gain a better
understanding of the problems facing the poor and immigrants. Documentation of
these social conditions led to Addams playing a role in progressive-era reforms
to improve housing, sanitation, health, and working conditions, and abolish
child labor.
In
founding the Hull House, Addams was following the example of Toynbee Hall, a
center of social reform founded in 1885 in the East End of London. It is not a
coincidence that charity arose in response to the conditions of
industrialization in Britain. The development of mass industry upended the
relations between classes, devastating rural life and creating a new class of
wage laborers in urban areas. With this came a shocking urban poverty of
filthy, cramped housing and chronic unemployment.
In
response to this social instability, the British bourgeoisie shunned systemic
social reform or government aid, instead offering private charity to alleviate
in part the miserable conditions of life. The socialist movement, by contrast,
pointed to the social roots of poverty, and it earned mass support in Britain
and across Europe as a whole.
In
America, the huge immigrant workforce at the turn of the century was particularly
susceptible to the influence of socialism because of the traditions brought
with them from Europe. Many played a role in the development of the socialist
movement and trade unions in America. From the perspective of the ruling class,
it was necessary to purge these workers of their socialist instincts and have
them assimilate bourgeois values, in order to fully integrate them into
American society,
Hull
House, working to improve the worst conditions of urban life that were
especially prevalent in immigrant neighborhoods, strove to incorporate
immigrants into American society. The settlement movement appealed for warm
relations between classes, symbolized by the reformers leaving generally better
lifestyles to live in the areas they sought to improve.
These
reforms were presented to the business and political elite for consideration,
without the mobilization of the working class—even while some of the most
militant strikes in U.S. history occurred in Chicago during the same period.
Private donations sustained the Hull House for this period and much of its
existence, the byproduct of the combination of genuine charitable sentiments
and the fear of social revolution.
In
the 1990s, Hull House began to shift away from private funding, which was
stagnating, to seek government support. With welfare reform under the Clinton
administration in 1996, state and federal governments began to offload social
services from government agencies and instead provide grants to nonprofits. The
Hull House saw total funding quadruple by 2001 as it gained government funding
for expanding social work. Private funding eventually diminished to a mere 10%
of the budget.
A
hint of funding problems emerged when the Hull House froze its pension plan in
2002 and began to defer pension contributions. When the recession hit in 2008,
a crisis of funding soon developed. Government funding cuts came simultaneously
with increased demand for services.
In
the last decade, Illinois funding for human services has dropped by $4.4
billion, including funding for child care, substance abuse, and domestic
violence programs. Over $4.2 billion more in funding has been delayed by
Illinois, with payments to nonprofits and other vendors taking six months or
longer. For these organizations, borrowing costs heavily increased, since they
have to extend credit lines to maintain service while awaiting payments from
the state.
By
the time of the bankruptcy filing, the Hull House was millions of dollars in
debt. With the closure, it is unclear how many clients will be able to find
services elsewhere. Government grants will shift to other organizations, but
they too face the same problem of declining funding and increased demand for
services.
The
layoff of 300 employees is among the largest recent mass layoffs in the Chicago
region, which had an unemployment rate of 9.3 percent in December.
Hull
House employees also found out in their last week of employment that their
health insurance had been canceled two weeks prior, without any notice. Some
employees, hearing that they would lose their job and health care, went to the
doctor during their last week, unaware that they had already lost coverage, and
now face steep medical bills.
These
circumstances have led to questions over why the agency was closed so quickly,
and what was being done to prevent it. In an interview on WBEZ, the Hull House
Association’s board chairman, Stephen Saunders stated that funding was sought
from “other organizations, banks, community groups. As revenues continued to
decline we had to shut sooner that we thought.”
In
the same interview, volunteer coordinator Mark Tisdahl noted that no public
appeal for help was ever made. Saunders replied that it was “way too late” and
that it “is difficult to ask for donations when people have been donating a lot
of money over the last 4 to 5 years and see a noticeable decline in the
organization.”
No
news has appeared of clients or staff speaking of a “decline.” The board of the
Hull House consists of high-ranking officials from financial, insurance, real
estate, educational and architectural firms―a world where “charity galas”
abound, and corporate profits are at pre-recession levels.
Jane
Addams and others had a genuine desire to help the less fortunate, as shown by
their willingness to live and be in direct contact with the people from these
neighborhoods. In the broadest sense, the organization represented a
constituency for social reform among more privileged layers in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth century.
The
cynical, pessimistic comments of the current Hull House board, and the way in
which the organization closed, point to a starkly different attitude held by
the privileged class of the present. Millionaires and billionaires abound in
the Chicago region, but not even a few million could be raised to ensure an
orderly closure of a historic charitable institution, let alone sufficient
funds to sustain it.
The
era when the bourgeoisie and its institutions sought to veil social problems
through reform has passed into one of austerity, when social spending is seen
as a drain on the wallets of the wealthy and will no longer be tolerated.

JOE LEGAL vs LA RAZA "THE RACE" JOSE ILLEGAL... THE THING IS... JOE LEGAL STILL GETS THE TAX BILLS FOR JOSE'S ANCHOR BABY BIRTHING = 18 YEARS OF WEFLARE, AND ALL THE OTHER COST LA RAZA DUMPS ON US FOR THEIR OCCUPATION.
IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY ALONE, WHERE ILLEGALS COLLECT $600 MILLION PER YEAR IN WELFARE, THE TAX-FREE MEXICAN UNDERGROUND ECONOMY IS CALCULATED TO BE $2 BILLION!
IN OUR BORDERS... IT'S GOOD TO BE A LA RAZA SUPREMACIST PARTY MEMBER ILLEGAL!
THE ENTIRE REASON THE BORDERS ARE LEFT OPEN IS
TO CUT WAGES!
“We could cut unemployment in half simply by reclaiming the jobs
taken by illegal workers,” said Representative Lamar Smith of
Texas, co-chairman of the Reclaim American Jobs Caucus. “President Obama is on
the wrong side of the American people on immigration. The president should
support policies that help citizens and legal immigrants find the jobs they
need and deserve rather than fail to enforce immigration laws.”

MOST OF THE FORTUNE 500 ARE GENEROUS DONORS TO LA RAZA – THE MEXICAN
FASCIST POLITICAL PARTY. THESE FIGURES ARE DATED. CNN CALCULATES THAT WAGES ARE
DEPRESSED $300 - $400 BILLION PER YEAR!
“The principal beneficiaries of our current immigration policy are
affluent Americans who hire immigrants at substandard wages for low-end work.
Harvard economist George Borjas estimates that American workers lose $190
billion annually in depressed wages caused by the constant flooding of the
labor market at the low-wage end.” Christian Science Monitor

“THE AMNESTY ALONE WILL BE THE
LARGEST EXPANSION OF THE WELFARE SYSTEM IN THE LAST 25 YEARS” Heritage
Foundation
"The amnesty
alone will be the largest expansion of the welfare system in the last 25
years," says Robert Rector, a senior analyst at the Heritage Foundation,
and a witness at a House Judiciary Committee field hearing in San Diego Aug. 2.
"Welfare costs will begin to hit their peak around 2021, because there are
delays in citizenship. The very narrow time horizon [the CBO is] using is
misleading," he adds. "If even a small fraction of those who come
into the country stay and get on Medicaid, you're looking at costs of $20
billion or $30 billion per year." (SOCIAL SERVICES TO ILLEGALS IN
CALIFORNIA ALONE ARE NOT UP TO $20 BILLION PER YEAR. WELFARE FOR ILLEGALS IN
NEVADA, NOW 25% ILLEGAL, IS SOARING!)

U.S. Taxpayers Spend $113 Billion Annually on Illegal Aliens
|
America has
never been able to afford the costs of illegal immigration. With rising
unemployment and skyrocketing deficits, federal and state lawmakers are now
facing the results of failed policies. A new, groundbreaking report from
FAIR, The Fiscal
Burden of Illegal Immigration on U.S. Taxpayers, takes a comprehensive
look at the estimated fiscal costs resulting from federal, state and local
expenditures on illegal aliens and their U.S.-born children.
Expanding
upon the series of state studies done in the past, FAIR has estimated the
annual cost of illegal immigration to be $113 billion, with much of the cost
— $84.2 billon — coming at the state and local level.

JUDICIAL WATCH
SANCTUARY COUNTY LOS ANGELES SPENDS $600 MILLION ON WELFARE
FOR ILLEGALS
County Spends $600 Mil On
Welfare For Illegal Immigrants
Last
Updated: Thu, 03/11/2010 - 3:14pm
For
the second consecutive year taxpayers in a single U.S. county will dish out
more than half a billion dollars just to cover the welfare and food-stamp costs
of illegal immigrants.
Los
Angeles County, the nation’s most populous, may be in the midst of a dire
financial crisis but somehow there are plenty of funds for illegal aliens. In
January alone, anchor babies born to the county’s illegal immigrants collected
more than $50 million in welfare benefits. At that
rate the cash-strapped county will pay around $600 million this year to provide
illegal aliens’ offspring with food stamps and other welfare perks.
The
exorbitant figure, revealed this week by a county supervisor, doesn’t even
include the enormous cost of educating, medically treating or incarcerating
illegal aliens in the sprawling county of about 10 million residents. Los
Angeles County annually spends more than $1 billion for those combined
services, including $500 million for healthcare and $350 million for public
safety.
About
a quarter of the county’s welfare and food stamp issuances go to parents who
reside in the United States illegally and collect benefits for their anchor
babies, according to the figures from the county’s Department of Social
Services. In 2009 the tab ran $570 million and this year’s figure is expected
to increase by several million dollars.
Illegal
immigration continues to have a “catastrophic
impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers,” the veteran county supervisor (Michael Antonovich) who
revealed the information has said. The former fifth-grade history teacher has
repeatedly come under fire from his liberal counterparts for publicizing
statistics that confirm the devastation illegal immigration has had on the
region. Antonovich, who has served on the board for nearly three decades, represents
a portion of the county that is roughly twice the size of Rhode Island and has
about 2 million residents.
His
district is simply a snippet of a larger crisis. Nationwide, Americans pay
around $22 billion annually to provide illegal immigrants with welfare benefits
that include food assistance programs such as free school lunches in public
schools, food stamps and a nutritional program (known as WIC)
for low-income women and their children. Tens of billions more are spent on
other social services, medical care, public education and legal costs such as
incarceration and public defenders.

Anchor Babies Grab One Quarter of
Welfare Dollars in LA Co
The anchor baby scam has proven lucrative for illegal aliens in Los Angeles
County, at considerable cost to our own poor and downtrodden legal citizenry.
The numbers show that more than $50 million in CalWORKS benefits and food
stamps for January went to children born in the United States whose parents are
in the country without documentation. This represents approximately 23 percent
of the total benefits under the state welfare and food stamp programs,
Antonovich said.
"When you add this to $350 million for public safety and nearly $500
million for health care, the total cost for illegal immigrants to county
taxpayers far exceeds $1 billion a year -- not including the millions of
dollars for education," Antonovich said.
I love children and I'm all for compassion -- smart, teach-them-to-fish
compassion. But when laws, the Constitution, and enforcement allow illegal
aliens (the operative word here being "illegal") to insinuate
themselves into our nation and bleed us of our precious financial resources,
then laws, the Constitution and enforcement need to be changed.

Obama's 'Hispanicazation' of America
Monday, January 10, 2011 08:28 AM
By: James Walsh
Casting a shadow on economic recovery efforts in the United States is the cost of illegal immigration that consumes U.S. taxpayer dollars for education, healthcare, social welfare benefits, and criminal justice. Illegal aliens (or more politically correct, "undocumented immigrants") with ties to Mexican drug cartels are contributing to death and destruction on U.S. lands along the southern border.
While the declining job market in the United States may be discouraging some would-be border crossers, a flow of illegal aliens continues unabated, with many entering the United States as drug-smuggling "mules."
Increasingly vicious foot soldiers of the Mexican drug cartels are taking control of U.S. lands along the border, especially since U.S. Border Patrol units have been reassigned, some to offices 60 to 80 miles inland.
The U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) early last year posted signs warning citizens to avoid Interstate 8 between Casa Grande and Gila Bend, Ariz., because of criminal activity in the area, an area that includes protected natural areas precious to the nation.
In reaction to public outrage over the signs, the BLM removed the offensive wording in October 2010, replacing it with the following: Visitor Information Update--Active Federal Law Enforcement Patrol Area.
As the liberal news media, far-left Democrats, and labor unions push for the "Hispanicazation" of U.S. culture, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says the U.S. border has never been more secure.
Perhaps she is basing this on the reduced number of apprehensions, which result, of course, from reassigning Border Patrol agents inland.
In a recent New York Times article, Nicholas Kristof criticized U.S. citizens for not speaking a foreign language and suggested that "Every child in the United States should learn Spanish." He concluded that as the United States increasingly integrates economically with Latin America, Spanish will be crucial for the United States.
For decades, the liberal left has argued that Latin America is essential for U.S. business and trade. Kristof states that Latin America "is finally getting its act together" but fails to mention the Obama administration's $2 billion loan of U.S. taxpayer money in 2009 to Brazil's Petrobras oil company for deep off-shore oil drilling. Obama confidant George Soros, through the Soros Fund Management LLC, until recently owned millions of dollars of Petrobras stock.
Kristof suggests that one day Spanish-speaking Americans will be part of daily life in the United States and that workmen such as mechanics will be able to communicate easily with Spanish-speaking customers.
He fails to explain why these customers will not be speaking English. After all, the ability to speak, read, and write English remains a requirement for U.S. citizenship.
President Barack Obama gives lip service to increasing border control resources with limited funding and personnel. Many officials, including the governors of Texas and Arizona, are skeptical regarding the Obama administration's resolve. They resent that the United States is being blamed for the killing fields on both sides of the Mexico-U.S. Border.
For instance, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in March 2009, during her first official visit to Mexico, placed the blame for the Mexican drug cartels' vicious murders on the United States.
In Mexico City, she announced that the U.S. appetite for illegal drugs and the easy acquisition of guns from the United States by Mexicans are the root causes of the Mexican crime wave. "Blame America" has become the global agenda of the Democratic Party.
The Obama administration's plan to resolve the immigration chaos is to offer amnesty to all comers. President Obama re-affirms his support of a "pathway to citizenship" (amnesty) for illegal aliens in 2011.
The administration, however, has announced no plans to control the influx of future waves of illegal aliens or their skyrocketing costs to the nation. The administration, which condones U.S. sanctuary cities and states, has no plans to file charges against them for violations of federal immigration law. Nor does the administration seem concerned about the environmental impact that illegal aliens have on the ecology of the United States.
Many national forests, parks, monuments, wilderness areas, and wildlife refuges -- once the pride of the nation -- are serving today as marijuana fields for illegal alien gangs.
(IN FACT, PELOSI DOES NOT OBEY THE LAWS!!! SHE HAS LONG HIRED ILLEGALS AT MANY OF HER BUSINESSES, INCLUDING HER ST. HELENA, NAPA WINERY. HER LA RAZA SISTER IN CRIME, SEN. DIANNE FEINSTEIN HAS LONG HIRED ILLEGALS AT HER S.F. HOTEL, ONLY MILES FROM HER $16 MILLION DOLLAR WAR PROFITEER'S MANSION!)
Former Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi reportedly said to a gathering of illegal aliens in California in 2009 that U.S. immigration laws were "un-American," suggesting that they need not be obeyed. Concerned citizens can only trust that the new speaker of the House, John Boehner, as part of congressional oversight of federal agencies, will demand enforcement of existing immigration laws.
When will President Obama recognize that illegal immigration is slowing economic recovery? Can he resolve the chaos while still appeasing his Hispanic base?
To maintain his populist aura, the president is in the habit of saying one thing to one audience and the opposite to another.
One Obama apologist explained, "Campaign rhetoric is one thing," suggesting that governing is another. The deliberate Hispanicazation of the United States to secure a block of votes is quite another.
