Alderperson Andre Vasquez, 40th Ward Chicago

In Chicago, the 40th Ward office is a local government office serving residents through connections to city services and community resources. It helps constituents navigate Chicago's 3-1-1 request system, including filing requests and getting support or updates on submitted issues. The office also shares guidance on matters such as housing, parking, street maintenance, public safety, business licensing, and neighborhood development. Residents can learn about local programs and resources for seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, immigrants, and refugees. The office also supports community events at Ainslie Arts Plaza, a public space available for event applications at no charge. Applications are requested at least one month ahead, and proposed events are reviewed for scheduling, safety, and other considerations.
