As the influx of migrants in Chicago continues, Aldermen Hopkins and Reilly are calling for the Inn of Chicago Streeterville shelter to close.Two downtown Chicago aldermen are calling for the closure of one of the city's largest migrant shelters, located at the Inn of Chicago in the Streeterville neighborhood.
For over a year, the Inn of Chicago on the corner of East Ohio and St. Claire streets has housed over 1,500 new arrivals. "We had over 300 911 calls for service this year alone, a majority for things like fighting disturbance, narcotic sales; so, it's a real problem for the community," 2nd Ward Ald. Brian Hopkins said.
"It has actually been a very lucrative deal for the owner of this facility. I would imagine he would like to continue to because he is being paid for full occupancy, and the hotel was rarely occupied fully," Hopkins said."I can go to my 15th floor and hear noises starting at 7, 8, 9 non-stop for hours," resident Victor Zusman said.
