The City and County of Denver will demobilize its Emergency Operations Center on Friday and transition migrant support to Denver Human Services, the city announced on Thursday afternoon.
The Emergency Operations Center has been open to support migrants as they arrived in an influx starting on Dec. 6.
Most of the people arriving were coming from Central America and South America and were asylum-seekers and refugees.Since December, the city said it has helped more than 5,200 migrants and spent nearly $8 million. It continues to provide shelter, meals and services to more than 1,000 people currently staying at city and organization sites.
Denver Human Services will share details on the efforts, daily migrant totals, volunteer opportunities and more on its website www.Denvergov.org/MigrantSupport and on social media. Migrants who have arrived in Denver and want to stay in the city can find information and resources here and the Denver Office of Immigrant & Refugee Affairs website.
