BISMARCK On Jan. 25, Gov. Doug Burgum announced that the state Department of Human Services will administer the refugee resettlement program after Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota unexpectedly shut down.
DOH Executive Director Chris Jones said while the shift was abrupt, the department is working hard to make sure that there is not a gap in required services. He said DOH will work with LSS’s former partners and employees.
