Syrian Family Moves Into New London House Provided by Church

NEW LONDON, CT - A New London church welcomed a Syrian family into their new American home on Wednesday, The Day reported.

The six-member family of refugees come from the war-ravaged country of Syria, according to The Day. They have moved into a home on Jay Street that was purchased by the All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church to house refugees.

The home is meant to provide what is referred to as a “soft landing” for refugee families until a permanent place of residence can be found, The Day reported. Church officials said the need for refugee houses has not diminished despite recent actions by the Trump administration.
