Chicago's Migrant Housing Crisis: City Officials Face Backlash and Calls for Better Planning.

Plans to use the old South Shore High School as a temporary shelter for migrants have been met with opposition from South Shore residents who attended a public meeting on Thursday. The shelter will house up to 500 migrants at a time and could open by the middle of next week. Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson had committed to hearing from South Shore residents before making a decision on the respite center, but officials confirmed plans to house migrants there. The majority of migrants have come from Venezuela, with others from Middle Eastern, African and European countries.
