Sioux Falls non-profit resettled more than 380 refugees in 2024
Lutheran Social Services shares report amid legislative push to compel release of data
PIERRE — A Sioux Falls non-profit organization that is the target of legislation compelling it to make data about its refugee resettlement operation public says that it is willing to comply.
More than that, Lutheran Social Services says that it has been drafting reports about its refugee resettlement program since a law requiring those reports expired several years ago.
That’s according to LSS President and CEO Rebecca Kiesow-Knudsen, who shared the organization’s report for federal fiscal year 2024, which began on Oct. 1, 2023 and ended last Sept. 30. LSS is the most prominent refugee resettlement organization in South Dakota.
