Because of this belief, we attempt to provide some visible means of achieving such a way of life, especially for low income older persons, many of whom, because of language and cultural differences, are more vulnerable than their contemporaries. In response to the needs of the low-income elderly, we provide programs of employment and training, health, housing, and economic development. Aware of ongoing societal changes, we attempt to remain open and creative in our commitment to the Hispanic community.
