Minnesota Resettlement Landscape

Rachele King, the Director of the Minnesota Refugee Placement Office (RPO) and State Refugee Coordinator, will be our speaker.

Rachele will provide a base overview of the refugee resettlement process here in Minnesota. For example, how many refugees come to MN, from where, what does it take for these people to leave their home country, how are they vetted, what services are provided to them. After the basics, she will discuss what the RPO office (part of the MN Department of Human Services) is experiencing in light of the recent federal funding freezes, and what can regular citizens do.

There is no need for registration or RSVPs. This program is open to the public.

Ridgedale Library, 12601 Ridgedale Dr, Minnetonka, Room 172.
TIME: 6:30 to 8:00 PM.
