Chicago officials reportedly cleared the largest homeless encampment in the city after relocating some residents into apartments and shelter beds. According to the Chicago Sun Times, the encampments in Humboldt Park, amounting to 'roughly 90' per city data, were removed after nearby homeowners shared safety and health concerns and demanded action from city officials. 'Other neighbors have focused on providing food and necessities to the tent occupants,' the Times reported.
' A family of occupants in the tent city had left their tent with hopes of getting help with shelter from a city staffer, only to return to find their tent removed by Park District personnel. The family who requested anonymity was reportedly identified as Venezuelan and natives of the 'central Venezuelan city of Valencia.' They told WBEZ that they had been living in the park for three months.
