North Dakota from the Jamestown Sun: Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota and its community partners, which include schools, medical facilities, law enforcement, county and volunteer agencies and churches, are anticipating a shift in the ongoing resettling of refugees here. Kentucky Refugee Ministries Executive Director John Koehlinger said Botan’s venture comes as Louisville agencies continue to resettle a large number of refugees from Iraq — a trend that started around 2008 — and prepare to aid the first refugees from Syria some time next year. “Refugees have been coming from Iraq in large numbers for five years,” he said. “I think that the time is right for a newspaper for that community.” Nebraska agencies pledging to help deal with the refugees include Lutheran Refugee Services of Lincoln, Lutheran Family Services, Catholic Social Services and the Southern Sudan Community Association. Such refugees are eligible for a full range of public assistance programs swell as refugee assistance programs. https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress/2014/12/26/syrian-muslims-headed-to-north-dakota-nebraska-and-kentucky/
