City officials agreed to buy a North Park building formerly used by the U.S. Marine Corps to turn it into a migrant shelter for over 500 people.
City Council voted Thursday in favor of a proposal to buy the 10.7-acre property at 3034 W. Foster Ave. using $1.5 million in funding from the Lawrence and Kedzie Tax-Increment Financing (TIF) District.
The riverfront property sits next to the North Shore Channel between Foster and Bryn Mawr avenues. It’s near a CTA yard and across from River Park.
After the city buys and repairs the property, it could house an estimated 550 people, deputy mayor of infrastructure Lori Ann Lypson previously said.
Getting the building ready for move-in could take about three weeks, Lypson previously said. The property needs minimal repairs to its ventilation system and is already outfitted with showers, a mess hall and other amenities.

At least they have somewhere to go. Good enough for marines… they probably are well stocked with crayons.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel sounds like a good use... why don't we use similar facilities for homeless veterans.

Because Homeless Veterans Are Not The Priority Of The Current Administration !
The Illegal’s Are A Priority You Can See That In Everything They Are Giving Them
Free Cellphones, Welfare / Food Stamps
Free Healthcare And Free Housing.
Most Of The Hotels And Motels Here In South Central Pennsylvania Have No To Few, Vacancies Because They Are Full Of Illegals .
Some People Are Saying The Reason They Are Allowing The Large Number Of Illegals In , Is To Add More Democrat Voters .
I Think They Are Allowing Them In Because They Want To Make White European And African American Decadents The Minority, Because We Have Been Raised To Be Free Thinking And Loving Liberty .
Most Of These Immigrants Have Never Known Freedom And Liberty, Therefore They Are Easily Controlled By The Government.
Total Control Of The Population Is Straight Out Of The Socialist/ Communist Handbook.
