A new program is hoping to integrate Ukrainian newcomers into communities across Newfoundland and Labrador by ...
Kerry Murray, Associate Director of Ukraine Services, says there is an in-depth vetting process to ensure the safety of everyone involved and he wants to be clear that the ANC is there to support both the host family and Ukrainian family.
He says besides the initial application, interview, and home visit, there’s an orientation session for host families and one for Ukrainian families separately, and biweekly check-ins by phone or email for all parties involved. Murray says approved host families will be given a monthly stipend of $1,000 for up to five months, aimed at offsetting the costs associated with hosting.
Beyond financial compensation, Murray states that hosts will have the opportunity to assist newcomers in community involvement, language improvement, and integration into Canadian society. He says the program aims to create lasting friendships, cultural exchanges, and a sense of unity within the province.
