MADISON, WI (WSAU-MetroSource) A local organization is stopping its efforts to resettle refugees in the Madison area.
Lutheran Social Services will no longer be providing resettlement services to people coming into the country. Ken Braun, who runs the LSS Open Doors for Refugees program, tells WKOW-TV that the high cost of housing and difficulties finding accommodations for refugees makes it impossible to continue. Federal resettlement policies have also had an effect on services.
LSS will continue working with those who are already living in Madison for up to five years.
Jewish Social Services tells that Wisconsin State Journal that their resettlement program will continue.
