Catholic Social Services, which runs the U.S. State Department's Refugee Resettlement Program in Alaska, isn't sure yet how many refugees from Ukraine will be coming to Alaska. But they will come, and they will most likely settle in places where Ukrainians already live in our state.
According to KUAC, of the 100,000 Ukrainians that President Biden pledged to help in the United States, Delta Junction is one of the places refugees will probably go to.
Delta has a large resident Ukrainian immigrant population already. So do Anchorage and the Mat-Su Borough. A few refugees have already arrived in Delta recently.
