Mayor Michael Hancock is asking the Catholic Archdiocese of Denver for help sheltering a recent surge of migrants and asylum seekers to the city
In a Dec. 30 letter to the Archbishop of Denver, Hancock said the city has become overwhelmed with the nearly 3,000 migrants from Central and South America and called the temporary crisis an “urgent humanitarian need.”
The mayor hopes the city and the Archdiocese can come to an agreement to use Little Sisters of the Poor as a short-term shelter to assist “migrant families in need during the winter months,” Hancock said in the letter. The mayor issued an emergency declaration on Dec. 15, giving the city more resources and funding without having to go through the normal expenditure process.
