HOPE HOME 

T H I R T Y - F I F T H A N N I V E R S A R Y I S S U E


On this, our 35th 

Anniversary, 

we extend our 

gratitude to 

Bud Ogle and 

wife, Donna, 

for founding, 

nurturing, and 

loving the Good 

News Partners 

community. We 

are blessed as 

Bud continues to 

be an important 

part of GNP 

as President 

Emeritus, 

furthering his, and 

our, call to end 

homelessness and 

hopelessness, to 

foster justice, and 

to build bridges of 

reconciliation. 

Chairman of the Board 

Good News Partners continues 

to grow and change. Change is 

not only good but a requirement 

in a healthy organization. 

Change is positive when an 

organization continually adapts 

to the operational realities it 

faces, but negative if it alters the 

organization’s original vision and 

goals. I think Good News Partners is solidly in the “good 

change” category. 

GNP is still firmly focused in our commitment to 

follow the will of God as we respond to homelessness 

and hopelessness. In the last year, through the generous 

support of the developing Church Collaborative, we 

purchased an additional building in the neighborhood 

that will expand living options. We also renovated 

previously owned space to both consolidate staffing in 

one improved location and to free up additional space for 

housing in the Jonquil Hotel. 

Additional changes continue on our operational 

side. We have bid adieu to former board members Jan 

Niemeyer and Andy Shaw. The countless hours of work 

and prayer they have given to GNP deserve more than 

simple words of thanks. We all need to thank God for 

their devotion to the shaping of this ministry. We are 

also changing leadership of the board. I am stepping 

down as chair and those duties will be turned over to the 

capable hands of current board member David Holly. 

We are infusing the board with new blood and spirit 

by adding four new members. The board continues 

to be enthusiastic concerning the management and 

vision supplied by Ronn Frantz, Executive Director. 

His calm leadership has provided the board with 

confidence as GNP moves toward ending homelessness 

and hopelessness, beginning in our neighborhood and 

expanding to the whole of God’s creation.

Executive Director 

As we enter the 35th year of 

partnering in the Good News, 

I am reminded of the exhortation 

of the writer to the Hebrews, 

“Therefore, since we are 

surrounded by so great a cloud 

of witnesses, let us also lay aside 

every weight and the sin that clings 

so closely, and let us run with 

perseverance the race that is set before us…” 

Good News Partners is greatly enriched by all 

of our partners, past, present, and future, especially 

other organizational partners in the North of Howard 

area with whom we have been working shoulder to 

shoulder for much of our 35 years. We have enjoyed 

the opportunity to sit together with the leaders of these 

groups and reflect upon what we have and have not 

seen accomplished in the past two generations. We are 

remembering in order to push forward. 

As I reflect upon the close of our last year, I am 

also reminded of another anniversary that presses greatly 

upon us: the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedies. 

Certainly, that anniversary is much larger and more 

dramatic than that of a small community living and 

working in the very northeast corner of the large City 

of Chicago. Yet, I am reminded of Dr. Martin Luther 

King’s remarks that “the arc of history is long but it 

bends towards justice.” It is often the small things, the 

consistent things, the everyday things that have the largest 

impact and lasting value: feeding the hungry, clothing the 

naked, visiting the sick and imprisoned, educating the 

young, housing the homeless. 

I hope that as you review the work of Good News 

Partners over the past year, you will recognize where 

and how you have been contributing to the bend of 

history towards justice. I hope also that you will see the 

road ahead for yourself as a partner in the Good News, 

building bridges of reconciliation. The choices we make, 

be they small or ordinary, are momentous. Shalom! 

Ronn Frantz 

Executive Director

Mission 

To end homelessness and hopelessness with everyone God brings to us, to foster justice 

and to build bridges of reconciliation. 

Philosophy 

Good News Partners is a faith-based, asset-based community development (ABCD) 

organization, focusing on housing, education, and economic development. As an ABCD 

organization, in contrast to a traditional social service agency, we do not try to fix 

other people or solve other people’s problems. Instead, we focus on empowerment and 

partnership. We recognize one another’s unique gifts, talents and experiences and work 

to enhance each person’s responsibility and potential. 

We all have something to teach and much to learn. We know we all need one another 

for our community, our city, our nation, and our world’s optimal health. 

As a faith-based ministry we seek to embody the hope, freedom, opportunity, 

community, and justice that God intends for us all. We welcome everyone – especially 

people often discriminated against because of race, gender, economic condition, 

religion, sexual orientation, and national origins.

HOME – OUR STORY 

35th Anniversary of Good News Partners 

In 1976, a group of Northwestern University 

students met with the campus chaplain for Bible Study. 

They asked, “Why did Jesus not spend more time with the 

Northwestern students of His day? The Rev. Dr. Arthur 

“Bud” Ogle responded, “Why don’t we go find out?” 

They traveled south of the campus a mere three 

miles to an area of Chicago that had the highest crime 

rate, highest density, and highest poverty rate in the city. 

Here is where the community was built – a 10 block 

area known as “North of Howard.” Along with our 

Rogers Park youth and other interested members of our 

community, we focused on a better future. Together, we 

learned about the struggles of poverty and racism, but we 

also learned about courage and resilience. What began 

as a pick-up game of basketball every Saturday morning 

grew to an overnight shelter and, ultimately, a permanent 

housing continuum. 

We realized that for our youth to thrive, our entire 

community needed to be a place of support. In 1980, 

we became incorporated and obtained an IRS taxexempt 

status. We also purchased The Jonquil Hotel, 

once a haven for drugs, prostitution, and gangs. Since 

then we have renovated hundreds of housing units and 

established a shelter, rental housing, homeownership 

cooperatives, jobs , tutoring, and youth programs. 


Good News Partners now owns 10 buildings for 

affordable housing and manages two others, where over 

500 people find shelter every night. We have worked 

beside more than 160 families who have gone from 

homelessness to home ownership through our continuum 

of housing. 

• New Life Interim Housing, a 32-bed shelter for 

otherwise homeless women and their children; 

• a large single room occupancy (SRO), The 

Jonquil, accommodating 58 families; 

• 2nd stage and GNP subsidized rental housing; 

and 

• 60 units of co-operative housing affordable for 

families with low and very low income. 

Owning a home has the potential to break the cycle 

of poverty for low income families, especially for the next 

generation. Our hope is not only with adults but also the 

children of those families. The children that grow up in 

GNP housing communities are more likely to flourish 

as they enter adulthood. Homeownership is not only 

something that is hoped for; at GNP we help our families 

reach that goal.

WHERE WE CAll HOME 

The North of Howard/East Rogers Park 

neighborhood is an under-resourced community in the far 

northeast corner of Chicago, with approximately 6,000 

residents, nearly all with moderate to low income. According 

to the 2010 census, “Rogers Park is one of, if not, the most 

diverse communities in the entire country, with a robust 

mix of ethnic backgrounds, languages, age diversity, and 

a wide range of family incomes.” (United States Census 

Bureau, 2010) Continuing gentrification, which causes 

conversions of rental housing to condominiums and 

high-rent apartments, leaves our population of focus with 

fewer affordable housing options. 

Our community demographics are as follows: 

28% African-American, 7% Asian, 45% white, and 19% 

mixed heritage. The average annual household income 

in our neighborhood is less than $13,000. Forty percent 

receive government assistance. This is an untenable 

situation, as a Chicago family of four must earn an annual 

income of $33,775 to meet a basic budget which includes 

rent or mortgage, transportation and childcare expenses.

Children living in the neighborhood face significant 

challenges to academic achievement and personal safety. 

Most elementary age youths engaged in our programs 

attend Gale Academy, a Chicago Public School with evershrinking 

funding. During 2009-2010, Gale Academy 

and Sullivan High School (the neighborhood high school) 

were both identified for “School Improvement” under 

No Child Left Behind and were placed on “Academic 

Watch” status. Over 20% of Gale students meet limited 

English-proficiency guidelines, and 87.7% meet lowincome 

guidelines. Children here face serious temptations 

to drop out of school and engage in gang violence. 

Among the goals of Good News Partners is to 

support community revitalization while minimizing the 

negative effects of displacement of current and long-time 

residents. GNP aims to secure more affordable housing and 

empower our community residents to become responsible 

homeowners and active neighbors to one another.

BRINGING HOPE HOME 

THROUGH MORE THAN HOUSING… 

The Good News Partners’ mission has remained 

constant: to create safe, affordable and reliable housing, 

and support building confidence and community 

simultaneously. We strive to bring about conditions in 

which hope, justice, responsibility, and reconciliation 

flourish between Chicago’s East Rogers Park/North of 

Howard neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods. 

GNP provides affordable housing for otherwise homeless 

families with a step-by-step transition from interim 

housing to independent living. 

In addition to housing, GNP builds community by 

providing the following: 

• Reading Coaches. Working in tandem with the 

Gale Academy administration and classroom 

teachers, coaches are on-hand during the school 

day to assist first-graders at risk for reading 

failure. 

• The Jonquil learning Center, on the ground floor 

of The Jonquil Hotel, offers children tutoring, 

music, art, dance, science, computer and 

cultural activities after school and on weekends. 

By engaging local adults in these activities, 

GNP helps our young people learn about varied 

cultures and interact with neighborhood role 

models. Activities include outings to museums, 

movies, or zoos, and visits to suburban churches 

on Sundays. 

• Job Training. Managing GNP’s multiple housing 

units and communal living areas is a full-time 

task. We are fortunate to have an apprentice 

program that allows community members to 

become trained in a wide range of building 


skills. Supervised by our Rehab Crew Chief, 

they remodel and renovate our units to house 

and serve our families. As they remodel and 

rebuild, the builders acquire skills that move 

them toward independence and prosperity. They 

also become role models for aspiring workers. 

• Youth Mentoring. The Annual Tennessee 

Wilderness Summer Camping Trip has become 

a highlight for our youth since our beginnings. 

In order to attend the week-long wilderness 

trip, the youth plan and participate in all 

the preparations. We try to recruit 12 to 15 

young people for each trip, one in June and 

one in August. The intensity of the camping 

experience builds community among the 

participants, encourages a life-long commitment 

to physical fitness, and expands the participant’s 

frame of reference in coping with life challenges. 

• Pastoral Counsel and spiritual nurture to those 

who desire it. Most of the families arrive at GNP 

with resilience and survivor instincts, but many 

feel fearful and vulnerable. Some are young 

mothers who didn’t plan on being moms. Others 

are older women facing homelessness due to 

domestic violence, a fire, a loss of an apartment, 

or a job loss. Through the vital services of our 

GNP Chaplain, Executive Director and others 

on our Management Team, our families develop 

and work to achieve their personal goals, in an 

environment of safety and security.

BRINGING HOPE HOME IN 2011 

No. 1 Way to End Homelessness: 

Provide a Home! 

In March of this year we were able to apply 

the down payment on a building at 1546 W. Jonquil 

terrace to do just that. The building houses 27 families 

at affordable rates, while the families wait for more 

permanent housing. $600,000 has been raised through 

the efforts of our Church Collaborative, our partner 

foundations and many of our individual partners. But 

we are still only two-thirds to our goal. An additional 

$350,000 is still needed. We invite you to join us in 

accomplishing our goal. 

GNP’s 1st Annual Fundraiser 

December 2010 

Good News Partners First Annual Fundraiser 

drew over 650 people and netted over $50,000. Travel 

guru Rick Steves – author of more than 30 guidebooks, 

host of a popular PBS television series, and radio host 

– spoke at the benefit event held at Cahn Auditorium at 

Northwestern University in Evanston. 

Steves and Good News Partners share the vision 

of providing homes for the homeless. He recalled his 

early days of travel when his main challenge each day 

was finding a safe and affordable place to sleep. He also 

began to learn about how our rich country’s policies can 

cause landlessness (which means homelessness and 

hunger) in an underdeveloped country, reminiscent 

of European feudalism. This realization led Steves to 

brainstorm ways to house the local homeless in his town. 

Travel Guru, Rick Steves: Travel as a Spiritual Act 

spoke at the 2010 GNP benefit. 


Steves and his wife made a decision to use their 

retirement money “to buy a ratty duplex” adjacent 

to his church to house homeless moms and their kids. 

Eventually, the building developed a mold problem and 

they had to tear it down. “But to me, this was actually good 

mold. God was in that mold.” Rick heard God’s call and 

developed an inspired community they call “Trinity Way” 

in Seattle, Washington. Good News Partners looks forward 

to the 2nd Annual Fundraising Event in April 2012. 

Parents Teaming Up to Stop Violence 

Even though GNP’s main strategy is affordable 

housing, our real focus is upon community building in 

the North of Howard area. A key component of strong 

communities is members’ mental health, including 

developing skills and coping mechanisms for the stresses 

within every community. We were pleased that we had 

the resources this last summer to empower parents 

to help support their teens. The violence prevention 

practices incorporated into this program have shown 

significant deterrence of violence. Moreover, these 

practices have a sustained effect. 

As a component of Gov. Quinn’s Neighborhood 

Recovery Initiative from the State of Illinois, the Parent 

Leadership in Action Network (PLAN), identified parents 

and other caregivers of color, who have been “through 

the fire” in dealing with their own life struggles and have 

navigated the tricky waters of raising adolescents. This 

group of parents was paid for part-time work doing 

community education and outreach to their peers (other 

parents). The program was developed by Motivational 

Educational Entertainment and has proven effective in a 

number of cities and regions.

BRINGING HOPE HOME – 

STORIES OF OUR RESIDENT PARTNERS 

Karen’s Story 

Karen, a recent high school graduate, has not let 

adversity get in the way of living out her calling. Karen 

and her mother, residents of The Jonquil Hotel – Good 

News Partners’ single room occupancy building – moved 

to Chicago in 2007 in search of better employment 

opportunities. She was born and raised in Baltimore 

where she and her 

mother resided in 

various homeless 

shelters since age 11. 

Karen admits 

that these were very 

tough times. Not only 

was she making the 

transition to another 

city with higher living 

costs, but to another 

school where she did 

not know anyone. After 

checking out various 

shelters in Chicago, 

Karen and her mother were referred to the New Life 

Interim Housing, where they would share living quarters 

with 30 other women and children. She enjoyed the fact 

that New Life was different from other shelters she lived 

in because “They helped residents, and there was more 

freedom here.” 

Karen and her mom then moved to The Jonquil 

Hotel where they share a room. They were welcomed by 

a community of residents that many people consider to 

be “family.” Throughout her young life Karen never gave 

up hope and had a positive outlook on life. 


While Karen was going through major life 

transitions, her studies never suffered. She excelled in 

the classroom as well as after-school activities. During 

high school Karen became involved in the band, science 

club, Advanced Placement classes and National Honors 

Society, in which students need a 3.5 GPA or better to 

be accepted. But she says of herself, “I’m nothing super 

special. All I did was work hard and complete things.” 

She also found a new passion for art. Becoming 

a cartoonist was her career path for a while until she 

realized she needed to do more. Her no. 1 concern 

became “how can I help those in need?” This past June 

Karen graduated with high honors from Lakeview 

High School in Chicago. She was accepted to many 

universities, including The George Washington 

University in Washington D.C. In May 2011 she 

completed the paperwork and was ready to start a new 

adventure at The George Washington University, but 

plans are on hold due to a lack of finances. She wants to 

major in sociology in order to study societies and learn 

how to help others. Her mother works part time for an 

organization called “Help at Home” where she assists the 

elderly. She also works for Good News Partners earning 

herself rent credits. Karen advises people to find their 

own calling, just as she did, and seek help when you need 

it. With clarity and direction, she feels motivated to move 

forward and pursue a higher degree of education. 

Jill’s Story 

Jill, a resident of The Phoenix Cooperative, 

has experienced the power of hope in the midst of 

trying times. Jill is the mother of six, two of whom are 

developmentally delayed. Jill’s partnership with Good 

News Partners began seven years ago when she moved to 

Chicago from Arkansas. Before her move, Jill lost custody 

of five of her sons due to legal issues. She and her 

youngest son, Blake, who was two at the time, were left to 

fend for themselves in a new city.

When they arrived in Chicago, Jill and Blake 

were homeless and she struggled to find employment. 

They were referred to Good News Partners where her 

transformation started. Blake was enrolled at Gale 

Academy and Jill began 

exploring employment 

opportunities at 

Howard Area 

Employment Center. 

Soon after, Jill was 

hired as a part-time 

employee for the 

Developmental 

Disability Organization, 

only one block away 

from The Phoenix 

Cooperative. Jill 

was offered a studio 

apartment in the 

Phoenix. She says, “I never thought after a year of being 

homeless I would be able to use my own fridge, my own 

bathroom. I dreamed of that and not a vacation.” 

Jill has resided in the Phoenix for seven years now 

and remains employed at the same organization. Since 

Jill has become more stable, she gained custody of three 

more of her children and is still fighting for custody of 

the two developmentally disabled children. Blake is still 

a student at Gale Academy. “Good News Partners has a 

supportive staff, and the community has a lot of resources 

all within one block,” Jill says. She attributes the growth 

in her life to the encouragement and strength that GNP 

offered her during difficult times. 

Mary’s Story 

“Living at New Life taught me how to dance in the 

rain,” says Mary, a single mother who was left homeless 

10 years ago. Mary recalls her first day of being homeless 

vividly. It was September 5, 2001 when she just “couldn’t 

take it anymore.” Although she had no place to run, she 

knew that she had to leave behind her husband’s drug 

addiction and verbal abuse. After being referred to Good 

News Partners, Mary and her two daughters, who were 

three and nine at the time, left the west side of Chicago 

and headed to New Life Interim Housing. 

Although Mary now had shelter, she was still 

torn. She was on her own to fend for her family with no 

income or direction. She soon found a school for her 

daughters, but still struggled to find work herself. She 

remembers days where she would walk to Rogers Park 

Beach and feel the Lord’s peace comforting her. 


Not long after moving into New Life, Mary found 

a flyer for Certified Nursing Assistant classes. She proved 

herself to be a responsible student, completing the class 

work, then earning a small income by taking care of the 

elderly. 

Mary remembers one transformational moment 

while residing at New Life. Donna, a staff member, sat 

down with Mary and handed her a Bible. Donna listened 

as Mary opened up about her abusive past for the first 

time. She began the healing process and credits this 

transformation to Donna’s encouragement and being 

surrounded by a supportive staff at New Life. 

Mary was able to move out of New Life the 

following January into an apartment in Rogers Park. She 

soon fell behind on rent payments, however, and was 

evicted. She returned to New Life. Mary recalls that “it 

was a very humbling experience.” Eleven months later 

she was able to move into another apartment with her 

family. 

One of her most valued successes in life is raising 

her two daughters. She says, “I thank God that they are 

on the right path.” 

Her youngest daughter 

is now a freshman at 

a competitive high 

school where she will 

begin taking college 

pre-requisites during 

her junior year. But she 

warns her daughter, 

“Don’t get cocky. 

Always give God His 

praise because you have 

been truly blessed.” 

Mary is currently 

in her 10th year of 

working for a senior life home where she was promoted 

to the home health care position. Despite the fact that 

money is still short for food or her daughter’s schooling, 

she can still say, “I know how to dance in the rain.”

…AND OUR SUPPORT PARTNERS 

Throughout this past year, we have explored deeper 

meanings of “partnership” with our supporters. We 

have developed more written materials describing how 

individuals and groups can partner with us. Our staff is 

consulting with outside groups to strengthen the available 

opportunities for hundreds of volunteers. 

We have also stressed to our supporters that 

creating the optimal and most satisfying volunteer 

experience is not our objective. Rather, volunteer 

experience with Good News Partners is designed to open 

doors into the North of Howard neighborhood, and 

carve a pathway toward relationships. Housing is our 

strategy; nurturing relationships is our goal. Volunteering 

provides entrance. Repeated entrance offers familiarity 

with individuals. Familiarity can lead to friendship. 

Friendship leads to commitment. Commitment seeks 

ways to share with one another. Sharing reveals mutual 

need. Mutual need leads to reconciliation. 


In addition to regular financial contributions, 

supporters bring their own special skills, resources, 

and contacts to connect with opportunities in the 

neighborhood they discover. This may mean supporting 

a family in reaching their goals, providing enrichment 

activities for children and adults, offering specialized 

professional skills or services, or investing in property 

or businesses in the neighborhood. The possibilities are 

endless and the opportunities wide open. 

A new opportunity for mutual benefit exists now 

for individuals and congregations to make short or longterm 

loans to Good News Partners at competitive rates to 

earnings in the stock market and higher rates than bank 

deposits. We are adjusting our financial strategies towards 

paying down our outstanding building mortgages, freeing 

up resources for much needed community development. 

Those interested in partnering with us in this way should 

contact Jan Hubbard, our Director of Development, or 

Ronn Frantz, our Executive Director.
