For that price, they could build 4-8 units outside of city limits.The main character of the story, Sok, came here as a refugee and has lived in the same apartment for 30 years with rents well below market.

One thing that is low risk is write a personalized letter. it should stress how you will take care of the home.I accepted an offer because it was a refugee family, and they wrote about how they wanted a better life for their daughter. i figure it would be good Karma, and those folks still keep in touch and thank me with a home cooked meal every 3 months.

That oil is still there ready to come out of the ground.Personally I think that we should provide assistance to any side that has refugees but keep in mind that it isn't our fight.There is a huge difference between Chamberlin saying in 1938 "Peace in our time" about Hitler and the current situation.1.

However, the new tenants are recent refugees so have been pre-qualified for HEAP, subsidized rent, free healthcare & full college tuition. 

I’ve gotten many messages from non profits housing refugees, etc.
