Chicago's mayor taps $95M in federal COVID-19 relief funds for migrant housing costs: report
|
[FoxNews] Over 20,000 migrants have appeared in the Windy City since August 2022.
Chicago's mayor has decided to use the city's budget surplus of $95 million to accommodate the mounting costs of the thousands of illegal migrants pouring into the city.
According to the Chicago Sun Times, citing Mayor Brandon Johnson's top aid, the move came to share with residents how the city is providing care and shelter for the over 15,000 migrants flooding the city.
Johnson’s senior adviser, Jason Lee, said that while the resources will help, it will not "change the outlook" for the windy city's continued "unstable" migrant crisis.
"This doesn’t change that outlook," Lee told the Sun-Times. "We’re going to continue to lobby the federal government for more support as the situation becomes, frankly, more unstable."
In November, Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced that Illinois will funnel an additional $160 million to help migrants arriving in Chicago to resettle, including $65 million to help the city launch "winterized" temporary shelter to avoid people sleeping outdoors in cold weather.
Johnson has criticized President Joe Biden’s administration for not directing more federal money to help deal with a situation that has continued to escalate-with no end in sight.
"What I have worked to do instead of having chaos is provided some structure and calm around the situation and, without significant federal support, this is not sustainable," Johnson said on CNN.
