Liberal city’s costs for sheltering migrants nears $25 million

Denver has spent nearly $25 million on sheltering migrants in its city -- one of a number of cities that have been hit by a significant bill for an influx of migrants

Axios reported in August that the city had spent over $23 million in dealing with the crisis, and was dealing with an uptick in migrants -- although the city’s situation was said to be stable as leaders worked to solidify a plan on how to provide services.

Fox reported in April that the city expected to spend up to $20 million over the subsequent six months, with costs of up to $1,000 per migrant per week. The city had declared a state of emergency late last year after numbers shot up in December.
