Ward 13 Councilman Joe Cimperman was born and raised in Cleveland's St. Clair-Superior neighborhood, where he enjoyed the benefits of growing up in the city's most racially, culturally and economically diverse district. The council member's own family added to the neighborhood's cultural energy through their love of their Slovenian heritage. Joe's mother emigrated from Slovenia to the U.S. and his father was a first generation American proud of his Slovenian descent. The family was active in St. Vitus parish, located in the eastern most portion of Ward 13. Joe attended grade school there and continues to be active in the parish. His recent efforts working with the parish have helped produce St. Vitus Village, a senior housing community focused on providing safe, healthy housing for elders who want to stay in the area.
