City Officials Pitch Plan To Convert Diplomat Motel Into Transitional Housing During Rowdy Meeting
The city wants to convert the motel into housing with services for unhoused Chicagoans. While most neighbors appeared to support it, a small group disrupted the meeting before it could start.
Lincoln Square’s Diplomat Hotel Could Become Transitional Housing For People Experiencing Homelessness
The motel could be turned into 40 rooms of special housing where residents get housing assistance and mental health and medical care.
