Update on Denver's Migrant Sheltering Response

Published in: Denver News

Published on December 18, 2023

The City and County of Denver is providing a weekly update on the support given to migrants who have arrived in Denver from Central and South America.

Denver continues to remain a welcoming city for all migrants at the city’s Reception Center between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., seven days per week.

Currently 3,656 people are being sheltered. As of Monday, Dec. 18, Denver has supported 32,430 migrants from the southern border at a cost of more than $35 million.

The city is grateful for funding it has received so far to support migrant sheltering operations, including a reimbursement award of $3.5 million from the State of Colorado. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has advanced $1.6 million, and approved Denver for reimbursement of up to another $9 million in federal assistance.
