The COFI model uses parents’ strengths and commitment to their children and to their neighborhoods to help make positive change in their own lives, their families and their communities. It emphasizes the commonalities (rather than the differences) between family and community leadership, and between private and public issues. COFI’s Family Focused Organizing is a systematic and proven model of how people who are far outside the centers of power, become leaders, build organizations, and win.
Emily Creahan, COFI

Challenge Deep-Dive
Challenge
Collect Data Collect utility bills for Englewood community and few other communities to validate the claim.
Approach
Data Sources● FOIA requests to
related city departments
● Manual bill drive by COFI organizers
● Public sources
Limitations
Data or No Data● Personal privacy
information involved● Manual bill drive is
logistically infeasible● Lack of authenticity of
public sources.
Acquiring Data
● FOIA request with the Water Management Department
● FOIA request with the Revenue Department
● Public source and news articles
● We received 35 records for residences on N Sangamon Street in Englewood
● Shut-off data for City of Chicago from 2007 to 2018

ConclusionPenalties are the main reason of
high bill amount
● Non-metered residences have a higher bills than metered residences.
● Non-metered residence have more past due days.
● Past due bills resulted in a penalty of 1.25% of the bill.
● Due to cumulation of penalties, non-metered residences have to pay higher bills than metered residences
