The following report is by MLive, first published May 9th, 2023:
The Newcomer Rental Subsidy provides refugees, asylees and immigrants from areas like Ukraine, Cuba, Haiti and African countries about $300 to $500 a month in rental subsidies. Assistance is available for up to 12 months.
Amy Hovey, executive director of the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, said the program aligns with a goal to increase affordable housing across the state for everyone “including those seeking to build a new life here.”
This program is truly a win-win, as it addresses the most pressing barrier to refugee resettlement by meeting housing needs while setting up families for success with increased employment and opportunity.
Hovey said in a statement.
The two-year program is being funded by the Michigan Housing and Community Development Fund with $4 million designated to the Office of Global Michigan.
Households need to apply for rental aid and eligibility and will be evaluated periodically, a news release said. Eligible recipients must be enrolled in an Office of Global Michigan-funded or similar employment program. They will also receive financial and budget education.
The United States resettled 24,645 refugees in the last fiscal year – falling below a 125,000 cap – according to the Refugee Council USA. Michigan was ranked No. 4 for welcoming 713 refugees behind California, Texas and New York.
Most refugees arrived from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria, Sudan, Burma and Ukraine.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Though this program has been in an existence for over a year it is now finding a resurgence online amidst this all-out invasion across the southern border.
“Newcomer” is this cutesy little term that Dems and RINOS are now using to call illegal aliens. That tells you exactly how they are thinking. ‘These people aren’t strangers illegally trespassing, they’re newcomers from abroad, and we need to welcome them because our borders are open to the whole world.’
But the most hilarious irony with all of this is the blatant whitewashing of servitude and slavery. Last month NBC10 Boston ran a story about families housing aliens after the city passed a subsidy for voluntary homeowners; and during the segment this Haitian woman living at this home described the lady hosting her (her master) as her “personal chef.”
Now that’s some comedy gold right there! Last time I checked this would be considered “racist” and “xenophobic” for saying the quiet part out loud!
Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
Proverbs 14:33
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

The right are getting ignited, they are poking that bear good and long so that when the right come to power, it’s going to be a horror story!
This country is like a house on Helloween; “me alien, I’ll take a phone and a Visa card and new clothes and a place to go…” and the US says “Ok, but ya has to vote Dem and kick out the citizens and apply for their jobs…” next please.
What a joke, we get hosed so they are set up to succeed and we pay for it, that what happens when ya kicks out God and His word.
The homeowner (in an apartment) Lisa says that she has her own “personal chef”, the Haitian woman.
Such liars & hypocrites. When they move tent cities & ‘newcomers’ next door & onto their estates or condo grounds: THEN we might hear them.

I live in a little town in Ohio on the Tuscarawas River named ‘Newcomerstown’. It got it’s name back in the days the Tuscarora lived here after the chief took a second wife from outside the settlement. Wife number one was not pleased, & drowned wife number two, the ‘newcomer’ in the river! So much for wonderful ‘human nature’…’superior races’….’celebration of culture’…& ‘building heaven/Utopia on earth’ & ‘newcomers’. It would be one thing if they weren’t bringing in Christ & truth haters, thieves, murderers & folks who put ‘American entitlement’ to shame with their insane covetousness & entitlement.
–
Later, the Moravians had villages of native converts nearby, along the same river, at Schoenbrunn & Gnadenhutten, & the White Eyes Mission was located near here. Things went well & biblically for awhile, but, as always, when the going gets easier, the greedy & ambitious come with their organized religion, more ‘efficient’ ways, & dominionist Augustinian arrogance & self-justification for cheating, theft, murder etc.
–
The brutal & mystical Shawnee had a natural affinity with the Jesuits of Quebec & Detroit, during the French & Indian War, aka Queen Anne’s war, & raided, scalped etc for them. (Not that the British authorities & policies were much better : the Bible faith goes out the window when power & money gets consolidated & is used to lure, bribe, use cronies etc.)
–
The Shawnee raided & massacred along the Ohio River, PA side, & brought some of the ‘booty’ to Ohio where they sold it to the native Christian brethren. When the surviving enraged fathers & sons of massacred settlers followed the Shawnee, they came across the native settlements when Zeisberger & the other missionaries were away, saw some of the women wearing clothes of slaughtered settlers, recognized household goods and went ballistic: slaughtering all present.
–
Missionary work amongst the native peoples dwindled after that. When men like Isaac McCoy, & his wife, Christiana, tried working amongst the native peoples later into the 1800’s, one of the things they were told was that the pagan natives hadn’t trusted the white men & fled, but those Christian brethren who had stayed were slaughtered: why should they convert to such a thing & people.
–
Some of those who supported the legislation for the Trail of Tears did so because they were seeing the handwriting on the wall, & the intent of the dominionist Augustinians….Protestant, Reformed & Catholic alike…to either further degrade the native peoples through the Indian agents etc, who ripped them off continually & sold them whiskey making matters worse, especially for the women & children as the men would get drunk & go on rampages; or promoting total annihilation.
–
The situation wasn’t helped by the fact that the shamans had always used weaker mind-altering substances like tobacco, etc to ‘get wisdom’, ‘have visions’ etc: whiskey was seen as a real fast shortcut that now anyone could use, & the native peoples had a weakness for whiskey that led to abuse & addiction quickly. Government ‘Indian agents’ sold them lots of whiskey.
–
Been reading old books & diaries.
–
They can build their nightmare AI ‘eternal life’ & try ‘taking it with them when they go’. Always some ‘positive’, ambitious, ‘efficient’ fool trying to ‘get away with something’ at every one else’s expense.
–
I just wish they’d keep it to themselves & not force it on the rest of us. They won’t let you do what’s right, always undercutting & undermining, slandering, looking for some shortcut exempting them from ‘by the sweat of your brow’ & to push & blame all the thorns & weeds on somebody else.

The whole world lieth in darkness. I’m going home to Jesus.
