January 22 Update on Denver's Migrant Sheltering Response

Published in: Denver News

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 4,277 people are being sheltered. As of Monday, Jan. 22, Denver has supported 37,844 migrants from the southern border at a cost of more than $40 million. Denver is currently operating seven non-congregate migrant shelters for newcomers as well as two congregate shelters for migrants experiencing homelessness. The city is also partnering with the Archdiocese of Denver to provide bridge housing for a limited number of families with children.

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.

Donations

Due to the overwhelming generosity of the community, the city and its partners have run out of space to store clothing and other items. While the need is still present, we ask that you pause donations of physical items while we identify another storage location. We will notify you once we have space for donations.

In the meantime, those who wish to help should consider giving to the Newcomers Fund. Donations will go directly to the city’s nonprofit partners who are supporting migrants with resource navigation, work authorization, shelter, and other services. You can also help by volunteering to support the response.

Actualización de apoyo a migrantes para el 1/22/24

DENVER – La ciudad y el condado de Denver brindan una actualización semanal sobre el apoyo brindado a los migrantes que han llegado a Denver desde América Central y del Sur:

Actualmente, los migrantes que llegan son recibidos en el Centro de Recepción de la ciudad entre las 8 a. m. y las 5 p. m.

Actualmente 4,277 personas se encuentran en nuestros albergues. Hasta el martes 22 de lunes, Denver ha albergado y apoyado a 37,844 migrantes de la frontera sur a un costo de más de $40 millones. Denver actualmente opera siete refugios para migrantes recién llegados, así como dos refugios colectivos para migrantes que están con falta de vivienda. La ciudad también está colaborando con la Arquidiócesis de Denver para proporcionar alojamiento temporal a un número limitado de familias con niños.

La ciudad está agradecida por los fondos que ha recibido hasta ahora para apoyar las operaciones de refugio de migrantes, incluyendo un premio de reembolso de $3.5 millones del Estado de Colorado. El gobierno federal ha proporcionado $1.6 millones y, el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional de EE. UU. anunció que Denver recibiría $9 millones en fondos federales.

Donaciones

Debido a la gran generosidad de la comunidad, la ciudad y sus socios han quedado sin espacio para almacenar ropa y otros artículos de donación. La necesidad sigue presente pero le pedimos que suspenda las donaciones de artículos físicos mientras identificamos otra ubicación de almacenamiento. Le notificaremos una vez que tengamos espacio para donaciones.

El Fondo Newcomers también continúa aceptando donaciones monetarias del público. Las donaciones irán directamente a los socios sin fines de lucro de la ciudad que apoyan a los migrantes con recursos de navegación, refugio y otros servicios.

Las personas y organizaciones interesadas en ser voluntarios deben visitar Denvergov.org/MigrantSupport para obtener más información.
