Refugees have been one of the most impacted demographics by the economic losses of COVID-19. When refugees first arrive, they often work in hospitality, transportation, and food service - all industries that have faced layoffs and loss of income. Due to language and cultural barriers, refugees may need additional assistance in accessing support. The City of Phoenix should continue its legacy of welcome by supporting relief funds for refugees here in Phoenix.
