As Chicago’s notoriously brutal winter looms ahead, city officials and residents alike are alarmed by the relentless arrival of migrants sent here by faith-based groups as the migrants have no money, connections or plan of what to do next.

When migrants arrive in Chicago’s airports on flights paid for by Catholic Charities in San Antonio, they often have little to no money, connections or plan for what to do next. Catholic Charities in Chicago is not there to greet them because its counterpart in Texas does not coordinate with it. Few of the migrants have friends or family here to meet them.

The Chicago branch of Catholic Charities does not coordinate activities with Catholic Charities of San Antonio, Krinock said. It is a separate legal entity that receives separate funding. The Archdiocese of Chicago is working with city officials to assess the viability of turning six to eight of their properties into shelters housing 300 people or more, said Eric Wollan, chief capital assets officer.
