I rise today to introduce a resolution congratulating Christopher House of Chicago on the occasion of its centennial celebration. I believe Christopher House is a successful and absolutely essential organization for the livelihood and well being of the great city of Chicago. Let me explain why. In 1906. the First Presbyterian Church of Evanston founded Christopher House as a settlement house on Chicagos North Side. Over the course of a century. it has grown in response to the needs of new immigrants and others in our community. Today. Christopher House is a sevensite resource center that helps families overcome the consequences of poverty. enabling them to thrive.
