After taking in more than 8,000 migrants since last August, city officials said shelters are overrun and resources are dwindling."Literally, these people are sleeping in the foyer between two glass doors, not even inside the police station," said Pete Keller, founder and CEO of ULON Resource Center.Keller said he has room to house migrants at the ULON Resource Center, located at 74th Street and South Cottage Grove Avenue.
"As they lined up, we got everybody’s name registered, we sent them through, we let 311 know, and as we get right outside the door, a lieutenant stops us, ‘hold on hold on,’" said Keller."Migrants are not obligated to remain at the police station, City shelters, or respite sites. However, migrants who leave risk pick-up delays or cancellation of their request for transportation to a shelter, especially if there is no way to contact them.
