Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

This will allow programs to be better able to address the needs of our elderly Haitian constitutency. Programs are traditionally lacking the cultural sensitivity and understanding that would make them useful to Haitian elders.  Major areas identified that need special attention include: health care, transportation, immigration, naturalization and acculturation and economic self-sufficiency.
