In 2021, Michigan was home to approximately 7% of its population as refugees and immigrants, as reported by the Data USA publication. This places the state in the top 30 in the nation, emphasizing its role as a destination offering refuge and hope to individuals from various corners of the globe. Aligned with the broader American dream, these newcomers share aspirations for a fulfilling life and seek to contribute to the nation's global successes in economics, freedom, and diverse sectors. However, the absence of reliable transportation and effective communication channels poses significant challenges, hindering their access to critical services, timely work attendance, and essential information and resources.
