Chicago Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson and his administration are beginning to explore permanent housing options for immigrants who have been bused into the Windy City over the last year. Finding funds is just one of the hurdles.
Since August 2022, over 10,000 asylum-seekers have arrived in Chicago on buses Gov. Greg Abbott sent to Illinois's largest city. It was the third Democratic city to receive immigrants from the southern border state.Following the immigration influx, Chicago officials have set up immigrants in police station lobbies and large concrete shelters over recent months.
“You can characterize our strategy as ultimate resettlement,” Pacione-Zayas said, adding that it will not be a problem that will be resolved in a period of weeks. Several migrant shelters across Chicago are at full capacity, leaving immigrants to sleep on the floors at police stations and gather resources to obtain permanent housing. Many are faced with poor living conditions due to overcrowding.
