On Monday, the city will resume enforcing length-of-stay policies and 150 people will be discharged. In the following weeks, several hundred more individuals will be forced to leave.
Denver’s inclusive policies, aimed at welcoming and supporting migrants, have reached a critical juncture with depleted funds and limited space. Advocates for migrants argue that, as the city readies to release families residing in shelters for months, it’s time to cease accepting new arrivals.

Casas, the leader of Vive Wellness, is intimately acquainted with the hurdles posed by the arrival of 40,000 migrants in Denver. Heading the initiatives among nonprofits to assist those arriving from the southern border, she grapples with the challenge of preventing them from becoming homeless as the city resumes releasing migrant families from shelters on Monday.
