A boutique hotel right off the Magnificent Mile in Streeterville is becoming a new city shelter, this time “not for asylum-seekers” but for Chicago’s unhoused, according to the city.
The move to turn the Selina Chicago, at 100 E. Chestnut St., into a shelter comes as hundreds of Chicagoans sleep on the streets, thousands of migrants remain unhoused at police stations, and tension over what goes to which group has prompted citywide squabbles.
