Migrants move out of two Oak Park shelters – WBEZ (Chicago)

Oak Park has housed near 160 migrants at the Carleton Hotel, as well as at the West Cook YMCA, since November. The village’s contracts with both locations expired Thursday, but with a $2 million grant from the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, volunteers and leaders have been working quickly to resettle families. At the St. Edmund shelter, which is getting $1.24 million of the grant money to house migrants through June 30, old classrooms have been supplied with cots and privacy screens.
