There are underserved portions of our community, and among them are newcomers to Washtenaw County. Immigrants make up an important part of the area's workforce but often struggle to gain a stable foundation on which to build a new life in our country and in our county. WEMU's David Fair talked about the efforts to welcome and support immigrants with Shrina Eadeh of Jewish Family Services of Washtenaw County.

There is a significant immigrant community in Washtenaw County, and the process of arriving, getting settled, and creating a future can be difficult. That's where Jewish Family Services of Washtenaw County (JFS) gets to work. Learn about the entirety of the process, the challenges and successes and how the more than 10,000 who have resettled here are contributing to greater cultural awareness and opportunity for everyone. JFS Resettlement director Shrina Eadeh joined WEMU's David Fair to shine a light on an under-recognized portion of our community.
