– Mayor Brandon Johnson's administration suggested this week it has no plans to postpone enforcement of its 60-day shelter stay policy, meaning scores of migrants could soon be forced to leave city’s shelters starting on March 16.
It’s unclear how many migrants that impacts, with city officials telling NBC 5 Investigates those figures are being tabulated.

The motive behind it was in part to help clear the city’s temporary migrant shelters and help resettle migrants into more sustainable housing situations. At its peak, Chicago’s 28 shelters were housing more than 14,000 migrants – roughly half of them - or 7,500 are not eligible for state-funded rental assistance.
