According to this brief press announcement there will be a public meeting in Tucson on March 18th.
The “public consultation” is to help the Department of Economic Security Community Services Administration “address the current state of refugee resettlement and to plan and coordinate services to refugees resettling in Arizona,” according to a news release from the state of Arizona.
Sounds to me like there might be a little problem brewing in Arizona or they wouldn’t be putting any of this before the public. We’ve written before about Iraqi refugees among others going to Arizona here.
Also, check out this database. As of 2005 there were over 36,000 refugee resettled in Arizona, the number must be over 40,000 by now.
This is the address in the Office of Refugee Resettlement database for the Arizona refugee agency:
Mr. Charles Shipman, Division of Aging & Adult Services Department of Economic Security, P.O. Box 6123, Site Code 086Z, Phoenix, AZ 85005, 602-542-6614 (P) 602-542-6400 (F) cshipman@azdes.gov
