Despite
governmental differences, the staff at Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement
is working hard to meet the needs of their many clients. The RRP case managers
are still as busy as ever visiting their clients and ensuring that the
resettlement process goes as smoothly as possible.
The Department of State’s Bureau of
Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) has cancelled new arrivals through
late October. In a letter to its partner agencies, PRM wrote, “We have just
made the difficult decision to extend the refugee travel moratorium until
October 21 because it is unclear whether certain federally-funded services and
benefits will be available to arriving refugees.”
Rest assured that when the
moratorium does lift, Catholic Charities will be ready to resettle new
families. In the meantime, we will be here for our clients that have already
found a new home in Portland.
