In case you haven’t heard - or still want to contribute to a network-wide sigh of relief, here’s a link to an ABC News article about last week’s announcement of the release of $71.5 million in federal funding for refugee resettlement services reprogrammed in June in the face of large numbers of unaccompanied minors crossing the southern US border.
Sadly, this great news doesn’t mean that the ongoing debate about immigration reform - or the needs of unaccompanied minors already here or future arrivals - isn’t still of great concern to all of us.
You may notice that this post is categorized as a success story. That’s deliberate. Working through this unsettling situation involved a great deal of initiative, commitment and leadership from all of us. It was worth the effort and greatly appreciated - especially by our clients who will continue to benefit from all of the services we provide.
