The Jane Addams Hull House Association Board of Trustees announced in mid January 2012 that after 123 years of service to Chicagoans in need they would be closing their doors in Spring (Chicagoist). A few days later, the organization’s board of trustees announced that in fact they would be closing their doors that next Friday (Tribune) leaving staff members scrambling to help clients find services with other organizations and asking why things had changed so suddenly.
Hull House staff member Mark Tisdahl talked with the Overdrive about how staff members are feeling with only one day remaining in the institution’s operation.
