DENVER (KDVR) — The city of Denver is making major changes to how long certain migrants will be allowed to stay in city-run shelters. Previously, migrants with children were allowed to stay for 37 days, but that policy has been paused, at least for now."We're seeing children on the street, and nobody wants to see children on the street," said Jon Ewing, with Denver Human Services. "What we did was we paused discharges for all families, and we actually told families who had timed out to come back inside."Ewing and Denver Human Services say the decision was not an easy one and comes with some compromise. To make room for the additional families, individuals without kids are now only allowed to stay for 14 days, instead of the previous 21.“It’s a hard decision," Ewing said. "Everything we’re talking about involves compromise and tough decisions, and we do not make them lightly."
