This month, the U.S. Department of State announced a new program to help sponsor refugees as they come into the nation.
CLEVELAND — Since Cleveland’s a large hub for refugees, many local organizations are happy for more resources and the relief.
“Right now, we are working actively with about 400 families and individuals. We'll probably see two to three families a day,” said Darren Ham, director of the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants Cleveland field office. The Welcome Corp program will connect families with sponsors just like Jaimee, that'll help them in their resettlement process including helping find housing, employment, enrolling in school and connecting with refugee services like USCRI.
