The 30th Ward was one of the hardest-hit areas during Chicago’s 2023–2024 storms. Three major floods overwhelmed our aging infrastructure, damaging homes, streets, and power systems.

The City is investing federal Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery funds, with a focus on neighborhoods like ours. These funds will support long-term Infrastructure projects to mitigate future impacts of severe storms on communities impacted by historic flooding in 2023-2024.

🗣️ Community feedback is being requested on how these funds should be used. Your voice matters—help shape a safer, more resilient 30th Ward. There are two upcoming community meetings: Tomorrow, May 14th, and Friday May 16th. You can also submit public comment via an online survey: https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/obm/provdrs/grants/svcs/CDBG-DR.html

Yesterday evening, there were reports of an individual with a gun at Riis Park. The Chicago Police Department responded swiftly to secure the area and begin their investigation. Alderwoman Cruz met with officers from the 25th District and bystanders at the scene of the incident. One person is in custody and is facing felony charges. Thankfully, no one was hurt.

In a separate and unrelated incident, there was a shooting early this morning at the intersection of Schubert and Menard. The victims were reportedly on their way home from a bar when their vehicle was rear-ended and a shooting occurred. All three individuals sustained gunshot wounds and self-transported to a nearby hospital. One victim is in critical condition, and the condition of the other two is currently unknown. The 25th District believes this was an isolated incident.

We are in contact with the 25th District and will continue working closely with law enforcement to ensure the safety of our community. Thank you to Riis Park Security, the bystanders who called 911, and the 25th District for their swift response.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the police at 312-746-8605 or CAPS.025District@chicagopolice.org. You can submit a tip anonymously through CPD's tip line: https://www.chicagopolice.org/submit-a-tip/

Public safety is a top priority, and we will keep residents informed as more details become available.

We are honored to have such dedicated mothers among us in the 30th Ward-women who give so much, both in ways we see and in countless ways we don’t.

We recently took a moment in the office to share a small token of appreciation, recognizing the efforts and dedication of our 30th Ward mothers. We hope they enjoyed.

💐Happy Mother’s Day!

Today, we honor the incredible strength, love, and sacrifices of all the mothers who have done it all for their children—balancing it all with grace, resilience, and endless care.

We also take a moment to remember and celebrate the mothers who are no longer with us, but whose guidance, values, and love continue to shape who we are.

To all the moms, grandmothers, and maternal figures in our community—thank you. 💐

Hoy honramos la increíble fuerza, amor y sacrificios de todas las madres que lo han dado todo por sus hijos, equilibrándolo todo con gracia, resiliencia y un cuidado infinito.

También nos tomamos un momento para recordar y celebrar a las madres que ya no están con nosotros, pero cuya guía, valores y amor siguen moldeando quiénes somos.

A todas las mamás, abuelas y figuras maternas de nuestra comunidad—gracias. 💐

_______________________________

Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji Dnia Matki,

Dziś oddajemy hołd niesamowitej sile, miłości i poświęceniom wszystkich matek, które zrobiły wszystko dla swoich dzieci - równoważąc to wszystko wdziękiem, odpornością i niekończącą się troską.

Zatrzymujemy się również na chwilę, aby wspomnieć i uczcić matki, których już z nami nie ma, ale których wskazówki, wartości i miłość nadal kształtują to, kim jesteśmy.

Do wszystkich mam, babć i postaci macierzyńskich w naszej społeczności. Dziękuję!!!!💐
