We’re excited to welcome spring and are halfway through the fiscal year. Refugee arrivals are on track with our expected total of 1,050 for the year. From Oct. 1, 2023, to March 18, 2024, resettlement agencies in Boise and Twin falls welcomed a total of 569 people. As with recent years, most arrivals are originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo. This graph does not reflect the 65 people who have arrived from Ukraine since Oct. 1 and are being served by the Ukrainian Welcome Center in Nampa.
As of Oct. 1, 2023, most Ukrainians arriving through the humanitarian parole program are no longer eligible for federal resettlement benefits, and community support has been vital in welcoming and equipping them. Donate toward those efforts here.
