The City of Portland has posted job advertisements for two new full-time case manager positions in their migrant Resettlement Program, who will aid newly arrived migrants in the city by connecting them with taxpayer-funded resources.
The job postings come after Portland was provided a $364,000 grant from the Maine State Housing Authority (MaineHousing) in February in order to extend their migrant Resettlement Program for 12 months.

Since January 2020, Portland has resettled an estimated 4,200 migrants through their resettlement program.
According to the job postings, the two full-time positions are for a day and evening shift “Human Services Counselor” in Portland’s Department of Health and Human Services.
“This position will focus on assisting homeless individuals and families who are newly arriving to Maine and may be staying at various homeless shelters or overflow locations. The successful candidate will work to increase community supports and overall stabilization leading to permanent, safe and supportive housing,” the job description reads.
The responsibilities of the Human Services Counselor position seem to focus primarily on helping migrants apply taxpayer-funded benefits.
“The chosen candidate in this position will assist with applications for housing subsidies, location and placement in permanent housing, client outreach and relationship building, development of housing resources, make referrals and follow up to ensure increased community support; including connections to health care, school and employment,” the job description states.
The pay range for the two positions starts at $23.22 per hour, and as a city employee, the counselors will receive a “generous benefits package” that includes paid holidays, employee health insurance, sick and vacation leave, optional life, dental, vision and income protection insurances, retirement plans, and tuition reduction plans.

The job application states that “The City of Portland is strongly committed to diversity in its workforce,” and that “Women and Minorities are encouraged to apply.”
“We are an Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity employer,” the application states.
“Portland hires Mitekie Kolarabu and Abu Awalari to fill the positions for (illegal) migrants housing placement counselors.
Oh boy. You Portland liberals voted for these people who are bringing illegals in and calling them “New Mainers” and living for free off your and our taxes.
Next you’ll complain about higher rents and higher taxes and higher crime rates.
We the people of Portland say why only two? Let’s put em all on the payroll. People of Portland and Maine are flush with excess money, it practically flows from our pockets and falls on the ground. If this proves not enough, by all means raise our taxes, confiscate our bank accounts. Tax Netflix and hulu and don’t waste money prosecuting drivers without a license or expired registration. We demand it. What a bunch of saps.
Which crony seekers will REIGN SUPREME in snatching one of these coveted positions where they can hand out the big pile of goodies to their pals? Imagine the bribery potential with positions like these.
Where do you get an application? I will have written instructions in 10 languages about how to get to NY City and Martha’s Vineyard.
This only makes sense to libertard democrats; continue to spend taxpayer dollars on people who are here illegally.
Illegals before Maine citizens… that’s the democrats motto
Why is it that they use the word migrant? Maybe it should read – Resettlement Program, who will aid newly arrived ILLEGAL ALIENS in the city’.
The best resettlement program is to SEND THEM BACK to the country they came from.
Every one of them has committed a crime by entering the United States without paperwork.
I don’t understand the mentality that there are people that can’ contain themselves from confiscating taxpayers money and showering it on illegal criminals while they kiss their a$$es! Is it some kind of mental defect, scratch that of course it is Portland is controlled by mental deviant communists that hate America! They are doing everything in their power to destroy citizens ability to economically survive!
