Denver’s Struggle with Soaring Migrant Food Costs: Budget Deficit Amidst 40,000 Newcomers’ Arrival

Denver faces mounting costs as it grapples with the ongoing influx of migrants, with expenditures on food for newcomers soaring to $1.4 million. Contracts with two food providers, Colorado Hospitality Services and Michaels of Denver Catering, Inc., have seen substantial increases from initial agreements, reflecting the strain on resources caused by the arrival of nearly 40,000 migrants over the past year. Despite receiving some reimbursements from the state and federal government, the city is confronted with a budget deficit of nearly $60 million, prompting concerns about its ability to sustain services for migrants and meet other financial obligations.

Denver is facing tough challenges as it tries to support migrants while dealing with money problems. The city has been stretched thin trying to help over 39,000 migrants and asylum seekers using a lot of its budget for shelters and food with not enough money and lots of pressure Denver has to make hard choices about where to spend money and how to keep important programs going despite having less money.
