Denver migrant advocates say six months of free rent, food not enough: 'A slap in the face' and 'offensive'
Fox News
Migrants and a Denver advocacy group slammed the city's short term assistance program for migrants as "offensive," despite offering six months free rent.
Last week, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced that his city's migrant program would now provide what he called "a long-term, sustainable response" to address the migrant "crisis" locally. The program will offer six months of free housing, food assistance, workforce training and more to the roughly 1,000 migrants currently in the city’s shelter system as they wait for authorization to work, according to the New York Post. Due to the federal asylum seeker law, it can take up to 180 days to obtain working authorization. Yael Halon is a reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to yael.halon@fox.com.
Johnston’s office said his plan will treat "our newcomers with dignity while avoiding the worst cuts to city services." But to make the program financially feasible and cover the cost of migrant services, Johnston made budget cuts in other areas, including his emergency departments.
