Housing the migrants continues to be a priority – but it is also putting a strain on city resources and facilities.
"The current situation is not sustainable. Clearly, this patchwork approach of wait for a bus to show up, and then try and find them a place – as I got a little more than one week notice, that is not sustainable," Conway said.
It's also expensive. A CBS 2 public records request found Chicago has spent $110 million on migrant issues this past year."It was in '23 an unexpected expense, but it is not an unexpected expense in 2024," Conway said. The Greektown hostel was used as a shelter for asylum seekers last October through February – and someone with the hostel says they were wonderful guests, and everything went smoothly.
