"The unprecedented cooperative proposal between and among the municipal governments has been in the hands of the federal government for months," they said.
Jeffrey MacDonald also noted Ukrainian newcomers have access to settlement program services typically only available to permanent residents, and can apply for a direct payment of $3,000 per adult and $1,500 per child to support basic needs.
