The program has officially started enrolling migrants and connecting them to resources like job skills program and help with their asylum applications.DENVER, Colorado — Tuesday marked the City of Denver's fourth day of enrollment for the Denver Asylum Seekers Program. The program was announced by Mayor Mike Johnston in early April. Since then, the city has moved to enroll more than 500 people, both individuals and families eligible for the program.
"The folks who are here today are enrolling in the Denver Asylum Seeker Program, which is the new program that the city created to support the folks who are seeking asylum and integrating into our community to assist them for the duration of the time that they need to wait until they are eligible for work permits," said Sarah Plastino, Denver Newcomer Program director.
"The truth is that we want to be legal, to be well and have a job, and to be able to have help for our family," said Jackson, who came to the U.S. with his wife Nicol, their son, and have a second child on the way. After enrollment, the next step for his family is to find housing through the city's partner service providers and organizations. ViVe Wellness, Papagayo and the Village Exchange Center are helping to place people in housing. They also work on case management to ensure the individuals and families can complete the program.
The only option for many migrants who arrived later is completing an asylum application and then going through the process of waiting to get a work permit. Until the permit arrives, migrants are not permitted to work.
