"Though this is not my choice and I'm disappointed at the short notice of this plan, I understand our responsibility as a welcoming city to work together given the present situation," Conway said in a statement to residents, in part. "Unfortunately, there are some in other parts of the country who have tried to make a political spectacle out of a humanitarian crisis and sow division in Chicago. This is not just a local issue, but a federal one, and I encourage you to reach out to your Congressional representatives about the need for resources to find a permanent solution to this crisis."
The Parthenon Guest House was previously used as a shelter for several months beginning last October.
