'It is not their fault, but even together with these large immigration agencies, they don't have enough capacity to handle this,' a resettlement activist said.
While some Afghan refugees, especially those with prior experience or connections in the United States, have been able to adjust to life in the U.S. more smoothly, a significant number of people are still missing out on some of the basic resources promised to them by the government, said community activist Satar Mohammed.that he has been in touch with dozens of recent arrivals who have been placed in substandard housing and have yet to receive any"welcome checks" from the government.
After spending months in the U.S., few eligible individuals at this hotel had even received Refugee Cash Assistance, a federal program created to provide cash assistance for up to eight months after a refugee's arrival date. Hilowitz said that while well-intentioned, the process for resettling Afghan refugees has been mired from the beginning.
"However, in this response," she explained,"the U.S. government engaged in partnerships with additional actors in order to provide support to the significant number of people that were arriving in a short period of time." "There is such a diversity of groups that want to provide support," Krause added."That, to me, is really exciting."
