The number of migrants staying in city-run shelters has dropped significantly in recent months, and the mayor's office said the five Park District sites are no longer needed to house migrants.

CHICAGO -- Hundreds of migrants who have been staying at five Chicago Park District facilities serving as temporary shelters will soon be moved to other locations to reopen those park sites to the public.Mayor Brandon Johnson's office said, beginning Saturday, migrants currently living at Gage Park, Broadway Armory Park, Brands Park, Leone Park, and Pitrowki Park will be moved to other shelters 'over the next several weeks.

The mayor's office said it expects all five park district sites to be ready for a full slate of summer programming this year.'I am proud of the efforts of my administration, our partners, and the many Chicagoans who stepped up to welcome new arrivals by providing shelter in our Park District field houses at a time when this was clearly needed,' Johnson said in a statement.
