The collapse of The Alliance, one of Houston’s stalwart refugee resettlement groups, did not come as a shock to the nonprofits and other agencies with ties to the region’s refugees and immigrants.

It merely added to their often stacked workload of providing classes, offering financial help and helping newcomers navigate the residency process. And the timing of the collapse was less than ideal, as Houston continues welcoming immigrants and agencies prepare for a changing federal immigration landscape under the incoming Trump administration.
