Charleroi in south-west Pennsylvania was once the epitome of Rust belt America .
For decades , factories here and in the surrounding area closed and people moved away.
But in recent years , immigrants have descended on the town of 4,200 people, drawn by well-paying jobs and cheap housing.
For the first time in a century , more people chose to make this quiet community their home rather than flee it.
Charleroi established a community liaison officer to help enroll immigrants in English -language classes, register children at schools and set up health-testing sites at a local library.
The borough is home to more than a thousand immigrants from Liberia , Jamaica and elsewhere.
Local business owners are overjoyed with the influx of foot traffic and the revitalization of downtown.
