Refugee, immigration program has new locale

– At least some of the programs assisting recent immigrants and refugees formerly housed at Fort Wayne’s Catherine Kasper Place have found a new home.

Catherine Kasper Place’s three-person programming staff recently moved from 2826 S. Calhoun St. to 5919 Salisbury Drive in the Autumn Woods apartment complex in southeast Fort Wayne, according to a recorded message on the answering machine of Holly Chaille, executive director.

Administrative offices as of Feb. 15 will be in Suite 101 at 347 W. Berry St., the message says.

An email invitation announces an open house at the Autumn Woods location from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 22.

Chaille could not be reached for details Tuesday afternoon.

Last fall, the Burmese Advocacy Center and other agencies housed at Catherine Kasper Place were told they would need to move because the building had become too expensive to maintain in light of declining grants and numbers of refugees.

At the same time, the St. Joseph Community Health Foundation announced it would no longer act as a fiscal agent or manage federal grants that contributed revenue to the center.

Minn Myint Nan Tin, the Burmese Advocacy Center’s executive director, said last year the center would reorganize and relocate. She could not be reached Tuesday afternoon.
