Tell your representatives to reclaim their role in refugee admissions and enshrine America’s commitment to refugees in law.
You can do what the federal government won’t: fund resettlement. Help a local office to keep their doors open and their lights on.
Resettlement is Shrinking in Minnesota Three of Minnesota’s seven resettlement providers will be ending their resettlement programs by October: the Minnesota Council of Churches (MCC), Catholic Charities of Southern Minnesota, and the United Community Action...
Three out of Minnesota’s seven resettlement offices are ending their resettlement programs this fall.
Declines in arrivals and federal funding have forced The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Episcopal Migration Ministries to withdraw from the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program this fall. Together, these two resettlement agencies oversee 78 of the U.S.’s 360 resettlement offices.
United Community Action Partnership in Marshall, the Minnesota Council of Churches in Minneapolis, Catholic Charities of Southern Minnesota in Rochester are three of those offices.
Donating to these offices can help position these agencies to resume resettlement should the federal landscape change.
To change the federal landscape, contact your representatives.
Minnesotans deserve a resettlement program they can rely on.
Refugees do too.
