The possibility of Utah welcoming Ukrainian refugees is not a matter of if, but when, Gov. Spencer Cox said last month.
By Kim BojórquezAs the U.S. prepares to welcome Ukrainians amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Utah leaders are currently in talks about how to help those fleeing the eastern European country.
Parekh said she spoke to state coordinators on Thursday morning to discuss how the refugee resettlement could impact Utah. “I think our capacity is much smaller in what we can handle,” she said. “The cost of housing here — available, affordable housing — is an issue and so I think all of those pieces will factor into what happens and what final numbers will look like.”
This month, during a March news conference at PBS Utah, Cox said the state was in talks with the U.S. Department of State to allow Utah to welcome Ukrainian refugees.
