STUDY SESSION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Shawn Lewis
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
DATE: January 9, 2023
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Request for Migrant Sheltering Assistance
DESCRIPTION:
Discussion regarding migrant sheltering in Colorado and potentially Englewood
RECOMMENDATION:
Council will be briefed on the status of migrant sheltering in Colorado and provide staff with
feedback regarding possible sheltering in Englewood.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Sierra briefed City Council on the request from the City and County of Denver on
December 14.
SUMMARY:
Migrant sheltering needs across the nation have continued to rise as migrants from Central and
South America flee economic and political problems in their home countries. Colorado has had
a recent influx of migrants, and on December 11th, the Office of the Mayor of Denver reached
out to the Metro Mayors group seeking assistance with sheltering.
ANALYSIS:
The Denver Mayor's Office request for assistance from metro cities was primarily based around
sheltering needs. Since Englewood did not have any immediately available sheltering
opportunities and because Englewood City Council had not weighed in on the matter, city staff
worked to connect Denver officials with Tri-Cities nonprofits through the Change the Trend
group. Englewood also offered to conduct a drive for hygiene and clothing items.
Mike Sandgren, former chair of Change the Trend and Tri-Cities Homelessness Coordinator,
responded to Denver and invited a representative of Denver (Paul Rosenthal in Mayor
Hancock’s Office) to speak at Change the Trend. On December 15th, Mr. Rosenthal explained
the situation to the Change the Trend group and one nonprofit leader offered to connect him
with a motel they coordinate sheltering for in Greenwood Village.
The City’s contracted Emergency Management Coordinator, Eric White, and the Arapahoe
County Deputy Director of Emergency Management Ashley Cappel met with Deputy City
Manager Tim Dodd in mid-December to discuss the County’s response. At that time, the
County had not developed an approach, however they have been monitoring the situation and
the approach that the state level.

On January 4, representatives from the City Manager's Office, Public Works and Parks, Rec,
Library, Golf departments met to discussion options. Staff discussed the parameters below by
which sheltering could be provided should Council wish to proceed.
Sheltering Parameters Outlined by City Staff
• Because of ongoing operational needs and potential revenue impacts, Parks and
Recreation facilities should be considered a last resort for sheltering migrants.
• Two vacant, city-owned buildings--the Tejon Fire Station and the Fox Building (the
building behind the police HQ)--could be cleaned up and modified as needed to serve as
shelters.
• City staff is ill-equipped to operate a long-term shelter facility and a contracted partner
such as a non-profit organization, State of Colorado agency, or City/County of Denver
department would need to be identified to run a shelter prior to committing an
Englewood facility for sheltering.
• If authorized by Council, city staff could reach out to Englewood faith communities to
identify other large-building opportunities for sheltering, and work with those
organizations to determine if facilities could be safely occupied for this purpose under
current codes.

COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
Provide staff with direction on whether or not to pursue opportunities to provide sheltering in
Englewood (based on the parameters laid out above) using vacant city-owned buildings, in local
houses of worship, or other locations Council may wish to pursue.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Unknown at this time; State funding may be available to cover some costs
