Finland: Municipalities unprepared for new integration law

Via YLE:
Immigration authorities feel that some municipalities are poorly prepared for impending changes to integration law, reports the regional daily Savon Sanomat. A change in legislation is coming into effect at the beginning of September, bringing new responsibilities for local administrations.

The new law forces municipalities to arrange integration services for immigrants receiving social assistance—a subsidy available to those who cannot afford even the most basic necessities—and have resided in Finland under three years.
