We speak with Belinda Ray from Greater Portland Council Of Governments, as she’s the Moderator for this morning’s eggs and issues:  With the workforce shortage and the demographic pressures in Maine, employers will look to fill vacancies with new workers and families. Asylum seeking families see Maine as an attractive place, but while many continue to arrive, some ultimately move on when they can’t find housing. Additionally, the steady arrival of new families and individuals – a trend that is expected to continue far into the future given global conditions – creates challenges on the ground for municipalities, service providers, and school districts. How can the state and the region work together to create a system to quickly resettle these families and encourage them to permanently join our workforce?
