Dear Ms. Cate Racek, Thank you for your message and the article from the New York Times. I have been supportive of the efforts by Exodus Refugee Immigration to relocate individuals affected by the violence overseas here in Bloomington. The City is part of a committee working with Congregation Beth Shalom’s Refugee Task Force and are currently waiting to hear back regarding the status of a grant application to fund this endeavor. If you would like more information about the City’s efforts, please reach out to Beverly Calender-Anderson, Director of the Community and Family Resources Department at 812-349-3560 or at andersb@bloomington.in.gov. I agree that Bloomington is a welcoming community and thank you for reaching out to express your support for this work. Thanks, John Hamilton, Mayor City of Bloomington
