monday emergency: To start, there aren't enough Arabic translators to meet the demand, so community service providers and volunteers from the local Arab community offer informal and formal support to help fill the gap, the report said, according to Hamilton Spectator. There is also a need for more Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada classes, according to community service agencies. A report presented to councillors at Monday emergency and community services committee meeting identified language and skills development as one area where challenges exist. In addition, some newcomers have trouble getting to and from these classes and finding child care while they attend. For most, the housing allowance will end between December and April, according to the report. As for housing, all government-assisted Syrian refugees who came to Hamilton have found a place to live, but there is concern that once the allowance from the federal government ends, some of these families could lose their current spots.
