A five-story office building on the edge of Fulton Market is the latest facility being considered for a temporary migrant shelter, Alderman Walter Burnett Jr. said.

As the city struggles to house thousands of migrants pouring into Chicago by the bus load, the 50,000-square-foot office building at 344 N. Ogden Ave. is being explored as an option in Alderman Burnett's 22nd Ward.

"We want to try to help as much as possible without disturbing the people in the neighborhood, without messing with the quality of life for the folks that live in the neighborhood," Burnett said. "The endgame is that we are a welcoming city, and we will do our best to welcome the new arrivals who come here," said Beatriz Ponce De Leon, Chicago deputy mayor for Migrant, Immigrant and Refugee Rights.
