Heartfelt Condolences from ECDC to Families of Fatal Air Crash

Arlington, Va. – (January 30).  We are heartbroken by the devastating tragedy that unfolded not far from our doorstep last night near Reagan National Airport (DCA) which is located so close to Washington, D.C.

This tragic news deepens our collective sorrow as we navigate recent challenges in supporting the newcomers we have resettled across the U.S.—many of whom still need our care and as our dedicated staff continue their unwavering service.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones. We wish them solace and strength as they celebrate and grieve their loved ones.
