Chicago Housing Authority:taking applications
Thursday. 4.17.08 3:47 pm
Today, I found out that the Chicago Housing Authority is taking applications for housing vouchers. I noticed this due to the swarm of people at the library all of a sudden today.
If your in Chicago and want to apply especially people graduating college this is a great opportunity for you all to apply. Especially, if your starting a new job and want to be closer to that job.
CHAC will be accepting applications from April 17 to May 15, 2008, so get yours in as soon as possible.

Nas writes an open Letter about the Teen Brutually Beaten in Chicago
Wednesday. 9.30.09 4:49 am
I just read the open letter Nas wrote about this situation and he asked an important question.
"What are we really proving?"
Meaning what are young men today really trying to prove by joining gangs, and acting a fool by committing crimes like the one that caused someone to lose their life. Violence is not the answer because it only makes matters worse. Now, four young men will behind bars for probably the rest of their lives because they didn't take the time to think. They didn't think about how they could kill someone and ruin Derrion Albert's family life and their family lives as well. What needs to be done in these schools because its only so much they school can do for these children. The parents need to start being more involved in their kids school life. This should involve them encouraging their kids to join different school activities. I also think another problem is that they allow people who don't live in that area to go to that school. They also allow these kids to ride the public transportation to and from school when their should be a bus. I hope people learn from this and parents starting doing more in the schools to help these troubled teens before someone else innocent is killed again.
