"ANN ARBOR, MI – Samaritas, Michigan's largest refugee resettlement agency and the fourth largest in the nation, has been approved by the U.S. State Department to begin resettling refugees in the Ann Arbor area.
One of the state's largest faith-based nonprofits, Samaritas is now expanding its office at 2770 Carpenter Road, where it offers foster care services, to create space for refugee resettlement staff, including at least one case worker....The Ann Arbor City Council has gone on record indicating it wants the city to be a welcoming place for refugees and Samaritas has taken note.
As the surge of refugees increases, driven primarily by larger numbers of Syrian refugees seeking safe haven, finding adequate, safe housing for new Americans is a challenge, according to Samaritas.
...Refugees may find themselves living in Ypsilanti, Westland, Inkster, Northville and parts of Ann Arbor, according to this week's announcement from Samaritas.
...Samaritas also operates refugee resettlement offices in Troy, Grand Rapids and Battle Creek, and now Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo are added to the list..."
