• The city's costliest expenditure, Favorite Healthcare, is under increased scrutiny after the death and hospitalizations of children staying at a shelter the staffing company is running.

• The administration says it will update the portal on the 10th of each month.

By the numbers: The city has paid Favorite Healthcare $93.7 million as part of the New Arrivals Mission.

• The city is paying more than $19 million to Equitable Social Solutions, LLC, which works to provide stable housing for individuals and families.
• Local landscaping companies Christy Webber Landscapes and Speedy Gonzalez Landscaping received about $1,200 and $15,000 from the city, respectively.

The intrigue: A Portage Park home decor store received $5,350 from the city.
