Our Government

Date:

White House

President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. declared that an emergency exists in the State of New York and ordered Federal assistance to supplement State and local response efforts due to the emergency conditions resulting from a severe winter storm beginning on December 23, 2022, and continuing.

Colorado Governor

Governor Polis visited warming centers and shelters providing critical support to people in Colorado during the extreme cold weather this week. The Polis administration acted swiftly and thoroughly to prepare for the extreme weather, keep people safe, and save lives, and the state has provided around the clock support to local governments and municipalities. Governor Polis expressed his appreciation to the hard-working volunteers, staff, and National Guard service members supporting the warming centers and shelters, and delivered gifts to children at the sites to ensure they had a small gift to open this holiday season.

Denver Mayor

Denver continues to manage a reception center and two congregate emergency shelters for migrants and asylum-seekers arriving in the city. Denver is also preparing a limited-service overflow site to meet temporary needs for shelter, should demand exceed capacity on any given night. Medical and non-medical volunteers are needed to help staff Denver’s emergency migrant shelters. All volunteers must pass a background check to be eligible.
