Concerns About Disparate Treatment

Many are now left without a place to go, facing uncertainty and displacement as a result of the city’s actions. Advocates for the homeless are calling on city officials to provide support and resources for those affected by the clearance, highlighting the need for a more compassionate and humane approach to addressing homelessness in Chicago.
