In a statement, the city said the Broadway Armory is being considered along with other locations.

Ald. Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth said everyone on the City Council has been asked to identify appropriate sites for temporary shelters in their wards.

"It can't just be on one neighborhood or one alderperson or one park district facility to fix the crisis we are in right now, because we don't know what the end looks like," Manaa-Hoppenworth said. She understands the seniors and students who rely on the park district for exercise, camaraderie, or a hot meal and said for now, all summer programming is moving forward.The alderwoman went on to say no decisions have been made on the facility yet. Officials will hold a town hall so the community can give voice, although details on that are still in the works.
