Does a Colorado hotline offer to pay callers to house migrants?

Justin George, The Colorado Sun
yes

Hope Has No Borders formed in May 2024. By mid-June, it had placed seven migrants in homes and identified 20 hosts for up to 90 people. Most hosts were offering stays of between three months and a year and asked for a monthly stipend of $200 to $900. 

More than migrants have come to Denver since December of 2022, straining the city’s ability to provide housing and other aid.
