Kansas to Welcome Afghan Evacuees this Fall
Hundreds of Afghans evacuated by the United States will resettle in Kansas over the coming months. The International Rescue Committee plans to place about 400 of roughly 500 evacuees in Wichita, with others going to Kansas City area and southwest Kansas towns. Arrivals may begin by mid October and will occur with limited notice, challenging housing and support services as groups mobilize staff and volunteers.
