The Afghans need homes

So let's do the Matt. 25:35 thing

Oh, God, the evacuation. Please read this story of Reach, the youngest Afghan evacuee named after the airplane that served both as her birthing room and ticket out of that broken country.

Welcome, Reach and family.

The news has been so difficult out of Afghanistan, but there is something we can do.

IRIS of New Haven, the wonderful Integrated Refugee and Immigration Services, is looking for housing for roughly 1,000 Afghan evacuees — or about 200 families.

This could be for as short as a week, or it could be as long as a year or so. Generous people have already offered to take some of the evacuees into their own homes, but the better arrangement would be for the Afghans to have their own homes with their own kitchens and their own bathrooms.

IRIS is a respected resettlement program that has been doing this for a long time. They have the funds. They have the personnel. What they don’t have is apartments.

So here’s the ask: If you can help or if you know of housing that might be appropriate, contact IRIS at info@irisct.org, or call them at 203.562.2095. And then please share with all your friends.
