The Office of Global Michigan, an agency within the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, has called on residents to welcome refugees and assist in their resettlement efforts in the United States.

Global Michigan said in a Feb. 12 statement that Michigan residents are now able to “identify a specific refugee or refugee family overseas” and apply to sponsor their resettlement as part of the Welcome Corps.
