Over 11 million Ukrainians are believed to have left their homes since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in late February. Now, American citizens will be able to help the displaced through a new program launched by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Last week, the Biden administration announced an initiative that will allow individuals and entities to sponsor Ukrainians who are seeking temporary refuge in the United States. The initiative, called Uniting for Ukraine, comes as part of the administration's plan to welcome up to 100,000 fleeing Ukrainians. Prospective American sponsors must apply on behalf of Ukrainians and may do so here.
