President Joe Biden’s plans to allow more refugees into the country could include the South Bend area. United Religious Community of St. Joseph County Inc. is applying to become a refugee resettlement community used by Elkhart-based Church World Service, one of nine organizations that contract with the federal government to help refugees establish homes in the United States, said John Pinter, URC’s director. If approved, the county could expect to receive 50 to 120 refugees from October through the end of next year, based on the numbers who came from 2007 to 2013, the last time the county was a site. “For the most part, if you’ve met somebody from Iraq or Bosnia or the Democratic Republic of Congo, or Rwanda, many other places, in this community, they’ll tell you that they were received well, treated well, glad to be here, and are making homes as new Americans right here in Greater South Bend, and that’s the spirit that we want to offer this in,”
