The debate over $11 million in grants reflects mixed feelings over how to handle the issue outside of Chicago.
Local officials usually welcome money from the state, but recent grants to Chicago suburbs to address an influx of migrants met with some backlash, highlighting how controversial the issue has become. In Joliet, news that the local township would get nearly $9 million to handle incoming migrants prompted immediate opposition from city officials and some residents. Mayor Terry D’Arcy asked township officials to withdraw the grant application.
Few migrants have come to stay in Oak Park, but a church there has opened its doors to give them a hot shower, new clothes and blankets, and a kitchen to make their own food. Thirty to 40 migrants come twice a week from a crowded police station nearby in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood to St. Catherine-St. Lucy-St. Giles parish for a break from sleeping on the floor or in tents on the sidewalk.
