Statewide, Iowa – Some Haitian refugees in Iowa are on the brink of becoming homeless when the federal government ends their temporary protected status this month.
Erin Bell is a board member for the nonprofit group Des Moines Refugee Support and says the refugees will get evicted if they can’t find any other employment.
She says they’re begging for help finding employment.
Bell says their option outside of homelessness is to self deport. She also says refugees may not be eligible for government assistance if they end up homeless.
