Description
As migrants continue arriving in Denver, the metro is dealing with another housing crisis. Migrants are ending up on eviction dockets every day.
Daniela and Sabil Rodriguez signed a lease in November 2023 for an apartment in southeast Denver. At the time, a relative was also living in the apartment, so they weren't the only ones contributing to rent -- until he decided to go back to Texas. That left the entire rent cost on the couple, who have a daughter and are expecting another child on the way.
"Really stressful, really tough," Daniela Rodriguez said in her native Spanish language.
They got behind on their rent in January. The month, they say, was difficult to find jobs in due to the snow and weather. Both are still waiting on their work authorization. Without it, they haven't found steady work.
