Chicago's Response to Migrant Crisis: Park Districts, Police Stations, and Temporary Shelters
Chicago is struggling to provide resources and space for the thousands of migrants arriving from the border, leading to asylum seekers sleeping in public spaces like police stations. The city plans to temporarily house some of them in Park District fieldhouses, but families who use these facilities for daycare and summer programs were not informed. The city is also considering using old school buildings as temporary shelters. The public can provide feedback on the issue at a meeting held by the mayor's office.
