As the number of migrants sleeping at police stations and airports balloons, the city is moving to open a pair of new shelters — one on the South Side and another on the North Side.
The South Side shelter, the Lake Shore Hotel in Kenwood, 4900B S. Lake Shore Drive, is expected to open as soon as next week, said local Ald. Desmon Yancy (5th), who first learned about the city’s plan to open the shelter last week and called for a public meeting about it Friday.
