ACF's Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) acknowledges that affordable and available #housing is the single largest constraint on domestic resettlement capacity. That is why we, along with our interagency partners, are working on creating solutions and highlighting resources. To support housing for newcomers, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and U.S. Department of State created an informational guide for landlords and property managers as they consider renting to #refugees and other eligible populations: https://acf.mobi/3XJqsT7

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly 40 children a year die from heatstroke, either because they were left or became trapped in a car. That's about one child every 10 days killed in a hot car. 🧸 About 46% of the time when a child was forgotten, the caregiver meant to drop the child off at a daycare or preschool. 🧸Thursdays and Fridays — the end of the workweek — have had the highest deaths. 🧸More than half of the deaths (54%) are children under 2 years old. Parents and caregivers, get in the habit of always checking the back seat of your car before locking the doors. Remember: Check the Back Seat.
