The new contract comes with reduced hourly rates. NBC 5 Investigates found hourly rates still range from $40 to $156 per hour.
Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration quietly signed a new $40 million agreement this week with Kansas-based Favorite Healthcare Staffing to continue to staff the city’s migrant shelters through October of next year.
NBC 5 Investigates was first to reveal that Favorite Healthcare Staffing has received at least $56 million over the past year to staff the migrant shelters, city finance records show. The bulk of the criticism, raised by city aldermen and citizens alike, has been over the hourly rates. For employees assigned to housekeeping, according to the invoices, Favorite Healthcare Staffing billed the city of Chicago for four weeks at a median pay rate of $17,000 for each of their housekeepers. At that rate, taxpayers could have potentially paid a median rate of approximately $221,039 annually for each housekeeper supplied by Favorite.
“Whether it’s a federal tax dollar, a state tax dollar or a Chicago tax dollar, it’s still money being wasted. And so we need to see a much better result from the Johnson administration,” Ald. Brendan Reilly said Wednesday outside the city council chambers. “They claim they’ve negotiated better rates; we will need to see the proof of that.
And what hourly rates the workers receive could depend entirely on if they’re hired locally from Chicago or if they are from out-of-state and need Favorite to continue to cover their housing and transportation expenses, according to the contract. The newly reduced rates ranged from $40 to $156 per hour.
