Chicago’s policy of evicting migrants living in shelters after a 60-day stay needs to end, the City Council’s Latino Caucus told Mayor Brandon Johnson in a letter Monday.“We believe that since the City has the capacity to house new arrivals, it should do so with the budget allocations we agreed upon without subjecting them, especially families with kids, to the humiliating and traumatizing experience of repeated evictions,” the letter said.
The city has over 4,000 beds available, the Latino Caucus said. The caucus asked the city to create “more humane” extension periods, better track where evicted people go and share updated plans on spending and responding to potential surges. . At the time, he called on Johnson to drop the eviction deadline standard and instead address shelter stays on a case-by-case basis.Johnson’s 60-day policy started with a series of exceptions. People preparing to move out if the shelter, struggling with many health issues or caring for kids in school would not be removed, the administration determined.The number of buses carrying more people primarily from Texas to Chicago has plummeted, with just seven arriving so far this month.
