CHICAGO -- City officials have closed a migrant shelter in the Woodlawn neighborhood as the number of asylum seekers living in city shelters continues to decline.Monday morning, city officials confirmed the shelter at the former Wadsworth Elementary School at 6420 S. University Av. had been 'decompressed,' and all of the migrants living there had been transferred to other nearby shelters.
At the time, the city said up to 250 migrants could stay there for up to two years, but as of May 3, a total of 503 migrants were staying there, according to city data.The city spent weeks denying they planned to use the former Wadsworth school as a migrant shelter in the fall of 2022, despite obvious evidence of construction work on site, and documents that suggested otherwise. It wasn't until December 2022 that the city confirmed the school building would be turned into a shelter.
