Just over 800 migrants have been enrolled or identified so far, but the city hopes to find more.

“What that will do is that will bring together all the operations in the city that help support all the ways with which we can keep communities safe that don’t involve law enforcement.”

Residents were happy with some of the mayor’s policies during a recent town hall but brought up several glaring problems.

About ninety migrants were at the encampment, but only a dozen or so hung around to wait for the city to kick them out.

Luis Alvarado worked, walked and bused his way through two continents for a better life. After arriving in Denver a year ago, he’s finally permitted to work.

During a May 2 meeting, residents told Mayor Mike Johnston they were tired of seeing drugs, violence and nudity in public.

The person managing the encampment plans to set up another hidden site after they’re swept on Monday.

While the city released its “playbook,” the council advanced two bills that will help meet the $90 million migrant budget.

The encampment appeared a few weeks ago, and the city wanted to sweep it while it was “still a manageable size.”

“If they could just get it at their local doctor’s office, it would make a lot more sense.”

Mayor Mike Johnston said he planned to offer housing when the encampment was at forty people, but it grew too fast.

Affordable housing advocates believe the end of certain assistance vouchers are a glaring problem for the city’s plans to house another 1,000 people.

“We think we finally cracked the code on how to help people.”

The city has no housing for the 140 people at the encampment, but residents are worried about their neighborhood’s safety.
