Dade County can document. conservatively. costs incurred and unreimbursed since 1980 in the range of $42 to $46 million. While these estimates include costs to schools. health care facilities. and the criminal Justice system. they do not include the indirect costs and impact of 150.000 people on the infrastructure and service delivery systems of the State and its communities. Since 1983. the Targeted Assistance Program has provided most of the Federal funds for refugees and entrants. particularly in Dade County. There the school system and Jackson Memorial Hospital received $5 million and $6 million respectively. in both fiscal years 1983 and 1984. It is our understanding that these allocations of $11 million will continue in fiscal year 1985 under an appropriation in the 1985 continuing resolution.
