There was a time earlier this year that Chicago and the State of Illinois was opening a new migrant shelter every week, but with buses stopping operations, the city is making massive changes.
Under the combined program, Chicago will have 6,800 shelter beds available. As of Monday, 4,996 migrants are living in 13 active shelters run by the city and state according to the Office of Emergency Management and Communications. There are none waiting at airports or police districts for placement.
“Starting in January, people will look for shelter by calling 311 and it will be on a first available basis,” said Brandie Knazze, the City’s Commissioner of Family and Support Services.
