At its peak, nearly 15,000 asylum seekers were living in 28 migrant shelters across Chicago. More than half of those migrants have left since the city began rolling out shelter evictions this spring. Many moved to other cities, or are now renting. About 600 migrants have re-entered the shelter system. Some others are ending up on the streets. WBEZ’s Adriana Cardona Maguigad has the story.
