"Chicago's Migrant Housing Crisis: Navigating Evictions and Support"

More than 13,000 migrants in Chicago are facing eviction from temporary shelters as the city aims to make room for newcomers and conserve its budget. Many migrants, particularly those who arrived after July 31, are struggling to find housing and work due to limited access to rental assistance and work permits. Advocates fear that the looming evictions could lead to homelessness for some migrants, as they may need to reapply for access to another shelter. The city is urging the federal government to provide funding and increase access to work authorization to address the housing crisis.
