The city's first newcomer director says her job is to shift the city away from emergency response and to be"a good steward of taxpayer dollars."after the arrival of thousands of migrants from the southern border. Since then nearly 40,000 of them have come to the city.
The departure of millions of Venezuelans from their country to places like Denver"is one of the hugest flows of displacement in our hemisphere in decades," Plastino said. In 2021, Plastino started her own consulting firm to offer legal and policy expertise on immigrant rights, and she has been on the Board of Directors for the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition Action Fund since 2022.
About 34 percent of the money Denver has spent so far on migrant services is for hotel lodging, according to the Denver Human Services Department. Payroll for the staff at these hotels is 32 percent of that spending, hotel security is 5 percent, and food accounts for 11 percent.
The federal government did give Venezuelan migrants who arrived before August 2023 the benefit of Temporary Protected Status, a designation that protects people fleeing humanitarian crises in their own countries and allows them to stay and work in the U.S."We would really like to see a reissuance of TPS," Plastino noted."All the folks who came into our shelter system in December and January, they don't qualify for TPS.
Chain migration is also a common path to Denver for migrants."Many people have family and friends here. We know chain migration is always a common pattern," Plastino said. "A community establishes roots and the remainder of family and friends join them."during the month of March. The move leaves three hotels for most of Denver's migrant sheltering, along with two transitional shelters and a shelter on standby.
"It's not that we're offering less space. The shelters that are open have plenty of space," Plastino explained."We're not turning anyone away. We're just utilizing a fewer number more efficiently."
