May in the 20th Ward: Youth, Community, and Summer Preparation
As we move into May, the 20th Ward is preparing for a summer filled with youth opportunities, community engagement, and neighborhood action. We are excited for the upcoming Southside Youth Explosion and other initiatives focused on creating safe, fun, and empowering spaces for young people across the Ward. Summer youth employment opportunities will also begin rolling out soon, and we encourage youth and families to stay connected for updates and application information. Residents are encouraged to sign up and volunteer at our upcoming Clean and Green events as we continue working together to support and beautify our neighborhoods. The 20th Ward remains committed to keeping residents informed, involved, and connected throughout the community.

Health & Wellness
The City of Chicago offers a variety of health and wellness resources to support seniors in staying active and healthy. These include free or low-cost health screenings, fitness classes, mental health support, nutrition and meal programs, and assistance with managing chronic conditions.
Meal Services
The City of Chicago’s Home Delivered Meal (HDM) Program provides nutritious meals to eligible Chicago residents, 60 years of age and older, who are frail and/ or homebound because of illness, incapacitating disability, or are otherwise isolated. An in-home assessment is conducted by a case manager to determine eligibility for this program.
Transportation Assistance
Transportation is the critical link that assures access to vital services such as health care, social and nutritional services, family and friends, stores and jobs. The availability of transportation allows older adults to live independently in their communities and helps prevent isolation and premature nursing home placement.
Financial Support & Legal Aid
Professional attorneys are available to assist caregivers with various legal issues such as; Power of Attorney, Living Wills, Guardianship and other legal issues that caregivers are often faced with when assisting their older loved ones. Legal services are coordinated and provided by Legal Aid Chicago (LAC).
