Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To maximize collaboration and coordination of services for older Haitian residents in the Northern area of Miami-Dade County and develop a comprehensive program ofoutreach, education and training and advocacy concerning the Haitian aged, their needs, services and service gaps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

This will allow programs to be better able to address the needs of our elderly Haitian constituency.  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.
