Fixing other things

While searching for resettlement during the Depression, I came across an example of how a national park came into existence:

“Laws were passed in Virginia and in Congress that mandated the forced selling of mountain acreage to the state government for later donation to the federal government to allow for the development of the national park, igniting a controversy that lives to this day among descendants of the families that have to give up their homesteads for pennies on the dollar.”

Also, I came across a present government agency, the Office of Refugee Resettlement, a Health and Human Services department hiding as an “Office of the Administration for Children & Families.”

Included is the Wilson/Fish program, “an alternative to traditional state administered refugee resettlement programs for providing assistance (cash and medical) and social services to refugees.

“The purposes of the WF program are to:

“Increase refugee prospects for early employment and self-sufficiency

“Promote coordination among voluntary resettlement agencies and service providers

“Ensure that refugee assistance programs exist in every state where refugees are resettled.”

Back to Detroit: Another plan calls for destruction of about one-third of Detroit’s buildings and letting nature grow trees and grass.
