EXECUTIVE SUMMARY RESUMEN EJECUTIVO We are an evolving, predominately Latino neighborhood that retains our Eastern European roots.

Belmont Cragin is evolving. Today we are a mix of long-time residents, hard-working immigrants and a variety of newcomers living together. Belmont Cragin is a neighborly part of Chicago, with resources that include good schools, blocks of modest single family homes and two- and fourflats, busy commercial corridors, and churches, nonprofits, health care providers and other local institutions dedicated to the community.

This quality-of-life plan is based on these realities of 21st century Belmont Cragin. To write the plan, a community task force and issue area subcommittees met regularly and conducted a robust range of outreach strategies that included bi-lingual public meetings, a community survey, one-on-one meetings with local stakeholders and discussion at events from summer block parties to parent advisory council meetings. Este plan de calidad de vida se basa en estas realidades de Belmont Cragin en el siglo 21. Para escribir el plan, un grupo comunitario y subcomités de diferentes áreas de trabajo se reunieron con regularidad y llevaron a cabo una robusta serie de estrategias de participación comunitaria que incluyeron reuniones bilingües públicas, una encuesta comunitaria, entrevistas con los actores locales, y discusiones en las fiestas de bloque en el verano y reuniones con el consejo asesor de padres. All told, more than 600 residents and 30 local agencies and institutions worked together on this community plan, which is centered around a comprehensive set of strategies, ideas and programs for four issue areas identified by our residents as crucial for the future of Belmont Cragin. En total, más de 600 residentes y 30 organizaciones e instituciones locales trabajaron juntos en este proyecto comunitario, que se centra alrededor de un conjunto de estrategias, ideas y programas para cuatro áreas de trabajo identificadas por nuestros residentes como temas importantes para el futuro de Belmont Cragin.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY RESUMEN EJECUTIVO Para llegar a esta visión, nosotros vamos a: A umentar la educación de la comunidad sobre la atención de la salud C rear nuevos centros para ampliar las opciones de cuidado de la salud A umentar el acceso a los recursos de salud mental Alcance a los adultos mayores We have identified many existing assets that can help Belmont Cragin reach these goals, starting with our resilient residents and their commitment, engagement and vision for a brighter future for the community. Our existing institutions are ready to expand on their strengths and create new partnerships across the community. We will also reach out to organizations and agencies that support Chicago communities but may not be familiar with Belmont Cragin. Hemos identificado muchos recursos existentes que pueden ayudar a Belmont Cragin obtener sus metas, empezando con nuestros residentes fuertes y su compromiso, dedicación y visión para un futuro mejor para la comunidad. Nuestras instituciones existentes están listas para expandir sus áreas de fortaleza y crear nuevas asociaciones a través de la comunidad. También vamos a conectar con las organizaciones y agencias que apoyan a las comunidades de Chicago, de las cuales no están familiarizadas con Belmont Cragin. Belmont Cragin has been and remains a great place to live, to grow, to raise a family or open a business. We’re at a crossroads, however. Many residents are worried about gentrification, and at the same time — compared to other Chicago communities with a similar profile for population, poverty, youth and other needs — we have become underserved for services and resources. By working together Belmont Cragin will become a neighborhood where working families have the resources they need for a better life. Belmont Cragin ha sido y sigue siendo un gran lugar para vivir, para crecer, para criar una familia o abrir un negocio. Sin embargo, estamos en un cruce de caminos. Muchos residentes están preocupados por la gentrificación, y al mismo tiempo – en comparación con otras comunidades de Chicago con un perfil similar para la población, la pobreza, la juventud y otras necesidades – nos hemos convertido en una comunidad desatendida para servicios y recursos. Al trabajar juntos Belmont Cragin se convertirá en un vecindario donde las familias trabajadoras tienen los recursos que necesitan para una vida mejor. Belmont Cragin, Executive Summary 6
