Syracuse to resettle Congo Tutsis under Chanuel program
Syracuse prepares to host about 50 Congolese Tutsi refugees who fled civil war in the Congo and have asylum in the United States. They are expected to arrive in central New York from Benin in January or February, with sponsorships from Catholic parishes and local groups. Community volunteers will help with housing, medical appointments, school enrollment, and job access, while agencies coordinate placement to avoid ethnic tensions between Tutsis and Hutus.
