NBC5 Chicago: Fireman’s Park Homeless Residents Don’t Want City to Force Them Out

A half-dozen homeless people living in an Avondale park say the city wants to remove them, but the city says that’s not the case.

“Give us a home or leave us alone,” the residents and others chanted at a news conference in Fireman’s Park, where they asked Mayor Lori Lightfoot to direct federal relief money towards housing the homeless.
