The city of Denver will spend up to $20 million by June on migrants who have come to the city as part of a migrant surge that has spread to include non-border states.
say that the city expects to spend up to $20 million on housing and caring for migrants within a six-month period, with costs estimated to be up to $1,000 per migrant per week.
So far, the city has aided over 6,000 migrants, which marks just a fraction of the over 150,000 typically encountered across the overwhelmed southern border each month. The surge led Mayor Michael Hancock to declare a state of emergency. Numbers coming in have decreased sharply from the highs of December, but it has taken a deep financial toll on the city.
Officials said that the city can currently shelter approximately 1,200 migrants at any one time, and that it is expected to expand that capacity later this month. Denver put certain limits on migrant shelter earlier this year, including a 30-day limit for how long migrants can stay in a shelter, as well as bars on returns and migrants engaging in"illegal activity."in January over the migrant surge when it began busing migrants to New York City and Chicago.
