Johnny Figueroa packed up his things half-heartedly as volunteers and city employees lingered near his tent under the viaduct near Clinton and Fulton Streets Monday morning.
The city was in the process of clearing the viaducts for routine street cleaning, but Figueroa, 52, said he was planning to stay and protest the clearing of homeless people from the area. His resistance to moving isn’t for him, he said — he is scheduled to move into an apartment Thursday with the help of the organization Inner Voice, which provides affordable housing and support options to people in Chicago experiencing homelessness.
