Shelter Shake-Up, Moon Report, and ‘Most Chicago’ Icon

On Thursday, the city will release more information about efforts to combine Chicago’s existing homeless shelter system with the system for new arrivals. The public’s first look at the initial details of the plan comes after the city closed a Gold Coast homeless shelter used during the Democratic National Convention and announced the upcoming closure of three migrant shelters. Host Jacoby Cochran and executive producer Simone Alicea break down what we know so far. Plus, we’ve got tips for enjoying tonight’s Harvest blood supermoon and this weekend’s festivals. We also announce the winner of our “most Chicago” thing bracket. Want some more City Cast Chicago news? Then make sure to sign up for our Hey Chicago newsletter.
