Westside residents facing 2 options after complex condemns 10 units: Move to new unit or take $1,700 to find a new placeChicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling responds to a question during an interview with The Associated Press Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023, in Chicago. Snelling says the citys use of police stations as temporary housing for the growing population of migrants seeking asylum has been a"burden" on the nations second-largest police department.
Snelling would not say whether he disagreed with the approach, which was put in place under former Mayor Lori Lightfoot. He said would continue carrying out the program with her successor, Mayor Brandon Johnson, as long as required. Multiple city council members have argued that the $150 million set aside in Johnson’s proposed budget isn’t nearly enough to address the issue. Social service groups, including volunteers who deliver meals and supplies, worry how tents will stand up to harsh Chicago winters.
One volunteer doctor group said physicians weren’t allowed see patients in the lobby, forcing them to examine patients outdoors. Some migrants have complained of their belongings being tossed out or gruff treatment from officers.
