TL;DR Summary

The city of Chicago plans to turn Wilbur Wright College's gym into a temporary shelter for up to 400 migrants, as the city faces a "humanitarian crisis" due to the influx of Central and South American migrants. The plan drew both support and pushback from neighbors at a community meeting, with some questioning the decision-making process and potential negative impact on the neighborhood. The shelter will provide cots, health care, showers, mental health support, and other services, and will be monitored by 24/7 security. The city hopes to find permanent housing for families before they have to leave in August.
