DETROIT (AP) — The federal government is awarding $2.2 million to Lutheran Social Services of Michigan for programs to help immigrant children who are in the U.S. without their parents.
Democratic. U.S. Rep. Brenda Lawrence of Southfield said the money from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will provide housing for “unaccompanied immigrant children.”
Lawrence said that the Detroit-based agency is Michigan’s largest refugee settlement, supporting thousands of families from dozens of countries.
The agency’s programs include translation, legal representation, school programs and general child services, she said.
