Chicago removes largest homeless encampment, relocates tent residents into apartments and shelters: report

‘Unlike homeless removals of Chicago’s past, this effort was focused on providing apartments to most of the tent dwellers,’ The Chicago Sun Times reported.

Chicago officials reportedly cleared the largest homeless encampment in the city after relocating some residents into apartments and shelter beds.

According to the Chicago Sun Times, the encampments in Humboldt Park, amounting to “roughly 90” per city data, were removed after nearby homeowners shared safety and health concerns and demanded action from city officials. 

“Other neighbors have focused on providing food and necessities to the tent occupants,” the Times reported.

The effort has been a priority for Ald. Jessie Fuentes of the 26th Ward. He explained further to the Times that “the city had moved 39 residents into apartments and was working on apartments for 24 others.”
