Great article by Lindsey
The Local News recently published the second article in my three-part series on hometown support systems for refugees and immigrants. I relied on conversations with subject experts and Haitian immigrants who slept at Logan Airport to explain the intersecting issues of housing and immigration in Massachusetts.

Beludji Narcisse, Research Associate for the Partnership, shares his experience with housing instability as a young, Haitian refugee in America. "As immigrants, we are expected by society to walk a fine line between integrating into the American workforce and striving for ourselves. This fine line is portrayed as a matter of human dignity in our economic system, yet those who were not fortunate enough to enter legally cannot walk it. Better policies are needed to ensure that immigrant communities thrive and can fully participate in the American economy."
