Needs-Based Temporary Programs: Migrant Shelters
Between December 2023 – 2024 AAFS was contracted under the Illinois Welcoming Center and partnering with Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, to serve the migrant population from Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador. The Southern Border Arrivals (SBA) program helps the huge influx of migrants in Chicago, which as of July 2024 reached a population of 43,000. AAFS caseworkers are present in the shelter three times per week, and provide on-the-ground support in migrant shelters, including in-take, helping people apply for housing assistance, food stamps, work permits and other immediate needs.
