Several hundred more are expected before the week ends. The government has been working to find sponsors for the refugees, including families, churches and charities, which are willing to help the people find apartments and jobs, assist with school enrollment and arrange for them to take English classes. Most refugees will be assigned a city where they can receive one month's apartment rent. After the first month, the Department of Health and Human Services will provide medical assistance and cash grants similar to state welfare payments |
