In fields ranging from communications to marketing, the Association shares its expertise with public and private groups, and with other professionals in the field of aging. It provides training and technical assistance to clients of every size, from national corporations to small local agencies.
Service providers seek help in effective outreach efforts to the Hispanic elderly and in providing services in new and culturally acceptable ways. The Association also furnishes legislative analysis and testimony to policy makers at all levels.
Action Through MODEL PROJECTS
Funded by the US Department of Health and Human Services, Administration on Aging, these projects were created to provide models that can be used by the Aging Network, CBOs, health and social service providers, in reaching and providing much needed health, financial planning and disaster preparedness for low-income multicultural populations. The design and development of many of the Association’s model projects are based on the Association’s pioneering research on the needs and concerns of the Hispanic community. These model projects can be used across the sprectrum of human services. Examples of recent model projects are:
