Hundreds of refugees have found housing, jobs and new lives in Kansas City since the U.S. military withdrew from Afghanistan. But many remain separated from their family members, and are struggling with an uncertain future here.

It's been years since Ahmad Azizi has seen his family, which has been stranded at a resettlement camp since August. Now that they're finally headed to the U.S., are local aid agencies ready to welcome them?

Local advocates say that for every five employers who contact agencies with job openings, only one is accessible by public transportation.

Some resettlement organizations are only getting only 48 hours notice to find housing and work for Afghan refugees.

Agencies are still coordinating with community partners but will be ready to accept hundreds of the expected 50,000 refugees coming to the United States.

Local and Missouri agencies have already welcomed some refugees from Afghanistan in recent weeks, but they expect more to flee as the Taliban takes over the country following the withdrawal of U.S. troops.
