The tents are gone from the site off the Dan Ryan Expressway south of Roosevelt Road. The people who lived there have been offered housing until Aug. 31 in a former hotel on the Near North Side.

Patricia Nix-Hodes, of the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, said it is critical that the city provide permanent homes for the people who were moved.
