A consortium of organizations in St. Louis is proposing to help resettle Chicago migrants.
WBEZ reports that the nonprofit International Institute of St. Louis is partnering with unions and philanthropic leaders to resettle Latin American migrants in their city.
The goal is to bolster St. Louis’s workforce and stem its population decline. “It could be the potential for a great relationship between both cities,” said Karlos Ramirez, vice president of Latino outreach for the International Institute. “If the [migrants] are going to be in a better place, St. Louis is going to be in a better place, and Chicago is going to be in a better place, I think everybody wins.”
