Chicago suburb receives nearly $2 million to run shelter for migrants
CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Village of Oak Park received a nearly $2 million grant to help migrants.
Oak Park opened its doors to recently-arrived migrants late last year.
The money allows the village to operate its temporary shelter program. Some of the funds will go to a local nonprofit so it can operate a new temporary shelter at a former Catholic school through the end of June.
Other money will be used for legal services to help migrants with their applications for asylum.
