Mayor Lori Lightfoot is losing yet another key member of her cabinet.
Family & Support Services Commissioner Lisa Morrison Butler announced her resignation Monday in an email to the 50 aldermen with whom she has worked so hard to combat Chicago’s entrenched problem of homelessness.
“It’s a loss to the city. . She was compassionate and fair. Whoever comes behind her has big shoes to fill,” said Ald. Pat Dowell (3rd), chairman of the City Council’s Budget Committee.
“I can speak to her willingness to try new approaches to dealing with the homeless situation I have in a location in my ward. It’s still problematic. But we were able to get two or three people into housing, which removed them from the streets. It’s a challenge, but she was willing to try different ideas and find funding for them.”
