Refugee service organizations are heavily dependent on private donors for funding after President Donald Trump signed a stop-work order for foreign assistance Friday directing them against using federal aid to help clients resettle.
The action was felt across numerous federal agencies that work in foreign services and resulted in layoffs. Such an action has the potential to heavily impact refugees who have arrived in the US within the last 90 days. During that time, nonprofits provide housing, cash and food assistance, childcare, and other services aimed at putting clients on a path toward stability.
