Some of the 100,000 Ukrainian evacuees expected to settle in Erie. Here's what we know
Matthew Rink, Erie Times-News - Yesterday 10:00 PM
Nandu Subedi has fielded calls from Ukrainians living in Erie. They want their loved ones to escape their war-torn country and resettle here.
Subedi, the director of the refugee resettlement program for Catholic Charities of Erie, shares their hope. Catholic Charities and Erie's other refugee resettlement agency, the U.S. Committee on Refugees and Immigrants, anticipate being part of efforts to resettle as many as 100,000 Ukrainian evacuees throughout the U.S. this year.
"We expressed interest to our national office, but there is no clear guideline from the government about when this process will begin and when we can expect to start resettling these refugees," Subedi said.
"We're monitoring the situation closely and we're in constant conversation with the State Department," said Dylanna Grasinger, executive director of the USCRI's Erie field office. "But at this point, we don't have a sense of how Ukrainians will travel. And so it's hard to have capacity conversations when we're not quite clear on timelines or actual numbers that will come through."
