Chris Gattegno doesn't have beds or food, but he's eager to provide tutoring, summer programing, health fairs, therapy and more once migrants are settled in.

"Once you've got that stability, food, housing and jobs, then you start looking for other sources of help," Gattegno says."We're willing to help right away." In October 2022, several nonprofits formed the Aurora Migrant Response Network, a coalition of more than fifty nonprofits that supports influxes of migrants. Aurora Community Connections was one of the first members of the AMRN, Gattegno says, joining soon after it was created.

Gattegno expects that in about a year's time, or sooner, Venezuelan migrants in Denver will find themselves in the second stage, looking for jobs, health care and child care. He expects Mauritanians to follow suit, but since their numbers are smaller, he doesn't think their transition will be as impactful to ACC.
