Afternoon Briefing: Lake County reports record numbers of homeless

Good afternoon, Chicago.

Prairie State College’s use of Victory Apostolic Church in Matteson resulted in payments of $8,850 in 2022, $9,930 in 2023 and college officials predict $9,930 in 2024 to host graduation ceremonies.

Public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act show how much the college paid the church each year for facility fees and event services fees.

The church’s pastor, the Rev. Andrew Singleton Jr., said the church charged the college a reduced rate, but he would not say what it was.
