American Community. Where do Asian
Americans live? What do they do? How are their needs met? Where can
they get help? What service are they looking for? ARC provides basic
resource information to facilitate your sense of identity,
development, and cultural integration.
-
Get Help in Times of Need.
When one moves into a new community, she or he needs various types
of supports to help settle down. ARC information helps to match the
service providers and those in need in a culturally sensitive manner.
We identify translators who assist in meeting the educational,
health, daily living and employment needs of new immigrants.
-
Make Government Work for You.
It is a good way to tell our government leaders who we are and what
we need by listing these facts in ARC. This information is edited
from governmental agencies and is used to help determine the
distribution of governmental funds to serve the needed Asian
Americans. ARC uses this information to obtain grants for community
centers, senior citizens programs, and women and children services.
-
Promote Asian American Businesses.
Because the ARC information helps industry reduce financial risk and
locate business opportunities, Asian American businesses are able to
provide the services you want. Asian scholars can share their
research and skills concerning the methods of starting your own business.
