Refugees who have legally entered the country after undergoing a U.S. and U.N. 11-step vetting process of up to three years have been helped when they arrive in this area by the nonprofit group Alliance for Refugees.
Boyd Hannold, the group’s Housing Director and Community Liaison and Senior Pastor Emeritus at Princeton Alliance Church, spoke to our club on February 21 about their work in resettling 135 refugees in 31 families in the group’s year and half of existence.
Boyd said the new federal administration has placed a 90-day hold on the refugee program and its reimbursement funding for evaluation.  For more information, visit boyd@allianceforrefugees.org.
