New refugee seeding site: Youngstown, Ohio
Posted by Ann Corcoran on October 20, 2016
We have been trying to identify the new resettlement sites the US State Department has been bragging about. They are very secretive about where they want to go next, but they need new sites as they wear out their welcome in long established sites and because Obama has determined that the numbers are being vastly expanded for FY2017 which is already underway.

Mrosko was involved with the Welcoming Cleveland initiative we mentioned here in 2013. There are about 600 refugees being placed in Cleveland now.

There are only stories like this one that sneak into local news that tip us off as to where they want to go next. For new readers, Catholic Charities would be a subcontractor of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The Catholics in Youngstown must have run out of poor Americans to care for there.
