Fidler, Project director �INDOCHINESE REFUGEES FOUNDATION, INC. Executive Summary The Indochinese Refugees Foundation was awarded a small demonstration grant by the Office of Refugees Resettlement for October 1, 1980 through December 31, 1981. Enclosed is the fifth and final Progress Report of the works of the Foundation under that grant. The original proposal was for the Foundation to provide ESL and Employment Services to 30 refugees and Support Services to 250 refugees. The Foundation was able to far exceed those goals by taking a small Self-Help Project and working it into a comprehensive Community Center by utilizing and organizing the many invaluable resources within each ethnic group and by working cooperatively with other service agencies to maximize the resources of all. Within a few short months, the Project became the focal point of services for refugees. By establishing an effective referral network, both the refugees and the service agencies knew where to turn for advice, information and assistance with their problems. By assuming this lead role as the community agency for refugees, others were more willing to work cooperatively in meeting the needs of the refugees. Within the refugee community we were able to strengthen our own organization and to provide assistance to the new ethnic specific MAA's such as the Laos Community of Lowell, and the Cambodian Association of Lowell. These associations took numerous referrals for interpreter requests voluntarily. They cooperated with us in organizing monthly orientation sessions where they were able to share important information. Through these associations, we became a truly community based organization. Similarly, we worked with other community groups to organize the Indochinese Refugees Services Steering Committee, where agencies, church groups and other providers have met for the past year to plan and coordinate services to the community. By working within the community in this manner, the Project had a rippling impact that went far beyond our original goals. In addition to coordinating our own local groups and agencies, we attempted to share the benefits of the grant with agencies and mutual assistance associations from all over New England. By sponsoring a Cross Cultural Symposium, two grantwriting workshops and by co-sponsoring the first annual New England MAA Conference, we assisted in the training of over 800 MAA leaders, agency, health and educational professionals. In these ways, the Foundation sought maximum use of the funds granted to us by ORR. _, During the last quarter, a financial audit and an independent evaluation of the ISHP were conducted. Both showed clearly that the Foundation had effectively and professionally utilized the federal grant to service refugees in our area. Finally, the Foundation participated in a highly competitive, open bid RFP process to the Department of Social Services. Based on the credibility established through the works of the Foundation during the past year and the merits of the proposed Project, the Foundation was awarded a contract of $83,000. The Foundation was the only agency awarded funding in the Lowell area to service refugees. A non-profit organization founded on January 27, 1977, under the Commonwealth of Mass., G.L, Ch. 180, Sec. 26A �SECTIONS I AND II OUTREACH/INFORMATION AND REFERRAL �\ 1 Outreach One of the greatest strengths of this Project has been the ability of this organization to reach out to its community. As an MAA, the Foundation maintains a direct line of communication with the Southeast Asian Community which is often inaccessible to other agencies. During the past quarter, we continued to establish extensive person to person contact with the refugee community and to send announcements, calendars, and newsletters. I-a has examples of this material. Appendix We are working in the direction of some- day transforming the Self Help Project into a multiservice center where refugees would feel at ease to drop in and share with one another their personal happiness and their individual problems, from religious worship to community entertainment. Information and Referral During the last quarter, we successfully referred 369 refugees to alternative services. employment. 1,187. The greatest demand is for interpreter services and This brings the total serviced by information and referral to See Appendix I-b for a complete statistical summary for the year. Please note that the increased number of referrals is due to the increased staff capacity of the expanded Project. �SECTION III ESL �2 ESL ESL Services were expanded to two levels of ESL, those were Survival I and Survival II. such topics as: The classes emphasized competency based ESL and stressed housing, health, nutrition, mail, telephones, education, and jobs. Students were tested on a regular basis to identify problems and progress. Each student did achieve progress during the three months and each received a certificate of completion on December 22, 1981. The table summarizes student attendence for the year. Student Enrollment/Placement 3/81 - 12/81 Student Enrollment Skill Training Placement Job Placements 21 Cambodians 36 2 Male (22) (2) Female (14) (0) (3) 42 9 (33) (8) (22) (9) (1) (3) Vietnamese 20 9 Male (15) (9) (5) (0) 98 20 58% (18) Laotians Male Female Female TOTAL .05% 21 45 59% % % 14 70% (10) (4) 20% - 60 61% �3 The greatest difficulty to overcome was the students' resistance to practice conversation. However, students progressed quickly in conversation- al abilities and comprehension, more slowly in writing abilities. We attribute this progress to the use of bilingual staff and to the curriculum designed by the ESL Coordinator. The bilinguals were not only able to provide much needed interpretation, but also to inspire confidence in the students to practice their new learned English. They accomplished this by effecting a community-like atmosphere at the Project. English classes did not begin and end at scheduled times; but often went much longer, giving students longer periods of practice. The curriculum offered students ample opportunity to learn subjects directly related to their lives, which provoked them to study intensely. �SECTION IV EMPLOYMENT SERVICES �4 Employment In the previous quarter, we placed a total of 41 students in jobs and 8 students into skill training programs, bringing the success rate to 78% of the 70 students who were accepted into our program. Since that time, we placed an additional 19 students into jobs and 12 more into skill training, bringing our total for the year to 60 job placements and 20 skill training placements. This more than triples our original goal of 30 placements. (Table I found in the previous section shows these statistics.) The success of this component of the program depended on a number of methods used by the Project staff, both to introduce American employers to Southeast Asians and vice versa. Labor Market assessment. of that assessment. First the Project Director conducted a Table II on the following page summarizes the results In addition to serving as an assessment, these contacts gave us the opportunity to establish relationships with prospective employers. In addition, Job Counseling was offered to refugees both on an individual and on a group basis. Job Clinics were held in September which focused on job hunting, resume writing, interviewing, etc. The staff formed a team approach for Employment Services. Each client and staff person had a responsibility in securing successful placements. The Job Developer cultivated and maintained communication with prospective employers in order to develop jobs. Together with the ESL Coordinator, and bilingual staff, job-ready clients were referred within 24 hours to prospective employers to fill openings. As a result of this strategy refugees participated in 106 job interviews. These interviews were immediately followed by a telephone conversation to the employer to answer any questions and to reinforce the qualifications of the �5 client and to insure that the staff would remain involved until both the employee and employer were satisfied. This process seemed to insure success and to eliminate problems before they interfered with the placement. Employment/Training placements as of 10/31/81. additional placements made by 12/31 were: - 3; and Prince Packaging - 3; BASF - 5. Table 3 represents Please note that the 17 Wang Laboratories - 6; Wang Institute Bringing the total to 60 placements. As can be seen, the jobs, for the most part, are in larger firms, offering more comprehensive and secure benefits to our clients. These placements will help to prevent a revolving return of clients to our program and therefore have a long term effect on the community. �SECTION V ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT �6. Organizational Development On October 31, 1981, the IRF co-sponsored the first annual Regional MAA Conference geared at developing the technical expertise of MAA's, and a network of information and support between organizations. The day featured speakers such as Diana Bui of the Indochinese Refugee Action Center, Washington, D.C. and Mr. Pho Ba Long, co-director of the Orientation Research Center, Center for Applied Linguistics, Washington, D.C. Each offered invaluable insights into the present and potential role of MAA's in the resettlement and cultural development of Southeast Asians in the United States. The afternoon featured ethnic discussions, facilitated by cross-cultural experts. These discussions were conducted in Lao, Vietnamese, and Cambodian. From these discussions came a summary, list of problems and resolutions which were presented to attending state coordinators. These resolutions can be summarized into the following areas: 1. Comprehensive technical assistance programs to increase the capacity of our refugee self-help groups. * Appeal for cooperation from both the public and private sectors. * Appeal for support to national and local training and technical programs to be provided by professional organizations. 2. Funding to enable our self-help groups to provide quality services to incoming refugees and to respond to the unique needs of specific refugee populations. 3. Community Centers that can initially provide supportive social and cultural services, later moving on towards the following long-term �7 goals: * Cultural preservation * * Advocacy within both the public and private sectors Consolidation and economic development of the ethnic community so as to become a positive force in American society. There were over 100 participants in this day-long event. From the evaluations we received, it seemed that most leaders gained a lot from the information shared and are anxious to effect more cooperative relationships. The impact of this conference continues to be felt as ¥.A.A's work with their newly formed contacts and newly acquired information. Since State Coordinators from the three New England states attended, they also became more aware of the growing need to integrate MAA's into refugee resettlement. All of the papers, resolutions, and agenda, distributed at the conference can be found in Appendix V. This grant had a tremendous impact overall, not only on our mutual assistance association; but also on those in our region. The allowance for training and consultants in our grant gave our board and staff an opportunity to grow and develop expertise and to become a credible and effective provider of services to refugees. During the year we were able to sponsor a cross-cultural Symposium, Two grant-writing workshops and an MAA conference. The total served by these training conferences was well over 700 leaders, representatives, and service providers, in addition to the IRF Board and staff. This will continue to have a rippling effect and we hope that we can continue to serve the community in this manner, because as an MAA we are able to bring a unique approach to to cross-cultural orientation. �EVALUATION OF THE INDOCHINESE - SELF - HELP PROJECT 1980-81 ,,. .• •.

The staff admirably accomplished a myriad . of tasks, some of which were de~cribed above, with a r~latively small amount of funds. 2. Attendance at ESL clas-se s was cont i ilM.lous·, except -th.at participants who acquired day - t i me employment were forced to drop out bfcause no e v e n i ng cla s ses were 9ffered. 3. A useful English-langu a ge curricu.lum for Indochinese •• refugees was developed. 4. The test data, though by n o me an s d efi n i t i ve, offer evidence that participant s ' English language skills did improve. 5. The project staff effect i vely prepared and guided in securing employment. 6. The project s~aff initfated procedures (e.g., a steering committee for agencie; prov i dini services to Indo~hin~se, a multil~ngual newsletter, ethnlc meetings) for improving se~vice delivery to Indoch i nese refugees and, mor~ imp-0rtantly, for p~omoting self - help among members of the Indochine~e community. r~fugees ... .J l I • �.. 13 RECOMMENDAT I ONS 1. Consider offering evening ESL classes to accommodate refugees who are employed in the day-time. 2. Pre- and post-t~sts of essential listening, speaking, reading and writing skills ought to be selected, adapted, or developed. 3. Curriculum development ought to be continued a1ong the lines discussed in the body of the evaluatiQn repor't. ·• ,· ~· . •. .... �SECTION VI LOCAL MAA DEVELOPMENT �8 Local ~i.AA Development During the past year the IRF worked intensely to effect the formation of ethnic-specific self-help groups. The IRF has worked assisting these groups to provide services to their own people and providing them with technical assistance in developing their organizations. By October, the Lao Community and Cambodian Associations of Lowell had entered a proposal with the IRF to provide Support Services to their own communities. The IRF was awarded a contract and has negotiated sub- contracts with these two groups to provide Outreach, Orientation, and Interpreter Services. This sub-contract is a milestone in the development of MAA involvement in the provision of services to refugees. It has a tremendous rippling effect as it draws largely on the human resources within each community and little on government dollars. The IRF has worked with each group to develop a realistic and comprehensive approach to assisting refugees. Each community has faced the difficulties of any new organization with determination to solve their problems and differences in order to meet the long term goal of mutual assistance. The IRF was able to effect this cooperative effort by being consistent with community leaders about our goals, and objectives and the methods we use to achieve them. For example, we not only spoke of shared responsibility, we included them in proposal planning, negotiations, and finally, in sharing the funding. As an MAA the IRF has always worked toward this goal and is very pleased in finally achieving it. There is much work to be done, but this first grant has allowed us to make tremendous gains toward the development of true mutual assistance. �SECTION VII COMMUNITY RESOURCES �9 Community Resources The Indochinese Self Help Project could not have been as successful without the tremendous support it received from a wide variety of community agencies and groups. First, the International Institute of Lowell has opened its doors to our organization and to refugees. They have begun to provide interpreter services, allowed the use of the building on weekends for ethnic meetings and assisted over 100 refugees in applying for their permanent resident status. Church groups have also taken a very active role by providing volunteers, donations, and various other forms of support to our Project. They choose to support our program because of the IRF's goal of self support which is consistent with their own. Their contributions have had an invaluable effect on the refugee community by bringing hope and compassion. St. Patrick's Church has not only brought a seemingly endless supply of warm clothing, but has also begun to distribute much needed furniture and other items. Christ Church has donated money, volunteered as case workers and is sponsoring a fund raising event on our behalf next month. Church sponsored a Christmas Party for over 100 people. Pelham Congregational See Appendix for a news clipping regarding the event. Other formal arrangements were made with CETA to accept students into training programs and to provide technical assistance to our staff. Mr. Bruce Akashian has sat on our Advisory Council for the duration of the Project and has given us unlimited advice. See Appendix VII for the letter of cooperation that was sent with our proposal. We have established a very supportive relationship with the City Manager's �10 Office by working cooperatively in their efforts to integrate refugees into this community. Additionally, Patricia Talty, Affirmative Action Officer for the City, has sat on our Advisory Council for the past year and has facilitated a number of Orientation Seminars and has also offered advice on job opportunities for refugees. We have also been attempting to establish cooperative services with the hospitals and clinics in the area with limited success. We are very fortunate to have received the support and encouragement of these various groups both formally and informally. Though many of these representatives were overwhelmed by the tremendous influx of refugees into the city and consequently into their services, they continue to receive these new clients with compassion and to put forth extraordinary effort to assist them. Appendix VII contains a complete composite of the letters of support we have received during the past year. �SECTION VIII FINANCIAL REPORT �11 Financial Report As was mentioned, the IRF submitted a proposal to the Department of Social Services for $140,000. We were awarded a contract for $83,000 to provide ESL, Employment Services, and Support Services. The Executive Summary found on page i gives a brief abstract of the current Project. The unique component of this contract, mentioned previously, in Section VI is the MAA sub contract for Support Services. We are very pleased to offer this same opportunity to provide Support Services that was offered to us through the Office of Refugee Resettlement. A financial audit was conducted by an accountant and it was found that all the financial records balance and are in correct order. this to be true is included in this financial report. reports are enclosed also. A letter certifying Our financial status All of the money excepting the closeout costs of the Board were obligated by December 31, 1981. is _ attached as well as a final revised budget. A breakdown of those costs The only outstanding obligation of the grant is to print the final report and to distribute the findings. �·:·-=Approved by Office of M•n•s•ment end Budset.

EXEC UT I Vl SUMMARY The Indochinese Refugees Foundation is a non-profit, tax exempt, Mutual Assistance Association, incorporated in Massachusetts in 1977. The Foundation has provided a qontinued networ~ of successful post-resettlement services for the past six years in the greater Lowell and Boston areas. During the past year the Foundation provided several services including: ESL, job coWlseling, and various support services, wider the Indochinese Self-Help Project. Th~ overall goal of the Indochinese SelfHelp Project is to promote refug~e self-sufficiency. This project was funded by a grant from the Department of Health and Human Services. This application, from the Indochinese Refugees Fowidation, seeks a continuation from the Off ice of Refugee Resettlement to continue and expand the present lndochin~se Sell - Help Project. 'fhe expanded project would provide: a cost effec~ive, comprehensive, network of job development and work related English c,;. lets~es that would assist the increasing numbers of Indochinese refugees in their journey toward self-sufficiency in the U.S. In summary, our plan is to µrovide intensive ESL and job cowiseling/ development to at leitst 80 t~iu~ces . In additi.on, support services such as; Information and Refer·ra 1 and e111ergency interpretive services will be given to approxiu1ately 200 refugees. Current studies and professional research indicated that only with such an integrated approach can we really effect refugee iudependence. The common language and ethnic background of the leadership of the MAA 1 s, such as the Indochinese Refugees Fowidation, enables us to assist Indochinese Refugees to adapt to American culture in the most meaningful way. ln the long cun, when public support is no longer available, a refugee's own ethnic conm1unity would provide continued and lasting support which would lead to successful socio-cultural integration and economic self-suffi~iency within the American society. Therefore, it is vital, as well as cost effective, that the Indochinese Refugees Foundation continue its work in the Lowell area. This application will SUlJi>Ort the need for such services, temporarily, witil this state's R.F.P. process is completed in December of this year.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICANT: Members of the Indochinese Refugees Foundation are dedicated to providing much needed post-resettlement assistance to their fet.low countrymen. This is demonstrated clearly in their long history of work that began in 1975 and continued to the present time. At that time, many of the Indochinese refugees of the greater Boston area joined together to form the New England Indochinese C01D1Dunity, later established as the Foundation. The Foundation had the unique objective of serving all the ethnic groups of refugees without distinction of race, religion, language, or political background. The present Board of Directors is reflective of this objective as it includes Iudochine~e people and American friends frQ.m mally differ~nt back~rounds. The objectives of the Foundation are to promote understanding and friendship, to encourage and facilitate refugee independence from public assistance, and to preserve and develop cultural heritage. (see appendix I-a) The Indochinese itefugees Foundation was 'incorporated in Mass. on January 27, 1977, with explicit objectives to provide social adjustment services and to develop bilingual and bicultural education programs for Indochinese refugees. The Foundation was then sranted federal income tax exemption under section 50l(c)(3) in 1980. The articles _ incorporation, letters of support, 1980 Annual Report, of and our 1980-81 tax return are appended in appendix I-b for your review . II. HIGHLIGHTS OF APPLICANT'S EXPE&IENCES: The emphasis of the services provided by the Foundation has been on the development of refugee self-sufficiency. The scope of these services has expanded since the Foundation's inception in 1975, and are swmiarized under the following cate~ories. Direct Services: -The ~·oundation, uuder the I. S. tt.P., has provided ESL training and successfully placed over fifty refugees in jobs or skill training programs. (appendi.x II-a) -Job placements to an additional forty refugees (appendix ll-b) -Interpretation services for hospitals and other emergencies �-3- -Information, referral, and follow-up to over 500 refugees, service providers, and volunteers (appendix II-c) -Distr-ibution of clothing, furniture, and other donated items (appendix II-d) -Social adjustment &ro.up counseling to over 100 refugees each month. Topics nave included: "How to apr.ly for jobs in the U.S.A.", "Employment opportunities", 'Travel and camnunication in the U.S.A. and in Lowell", "I.R.S. 11 , and many more. Translated, written material is distributed at each meeting. (appendix II-e) · -Printing of several newsletters in Vietnamese, Laotian, and Cambodian (appendix II-f) -Translation of 10 instruction sheets, developed by the Project staff to assist refugees in helRin~ themselves regarding: "Calling for emerfency help , Applying for a Learner's Permit and Driver s License", '"How to apply for energy assistance" are just a few examples of these materials. (II-g) -Individual and Family Life Counseling to many refugees -Legal advocacy Cooperative Ventures: The Indochinese Refugees Foundation has· sought to cooperate in all of its works in order to maximize assistance and resources available to Indochinese refugees. In this spirit, the I.R.F. sought and participated in the following cooperative ventures. 1) Prior to the establishment of the I.S.H.P. in Lowell, efforts to help Indochin~se refugees were fragmented. Assistance given by agencies and churches were crisis oriented - lacking coordination and long-term planning solutions. · Within three months, the I.S.H.P. coordinated the development of the Indochinese Refugees Services Steering Conunittee. This C0111Dittee has evolved into a community based effort to define, coordinate, and develop resources for refugees. See appendix II-h for the Committee's Statement of ~urpose. 2) The I.S.H.P. assisted the local C.E.T.A. consortium to reach Indochinese youths interested in the Suromer Youth Employment Program. The Project generated over 50 applicants for 30 placements in these jobs. The staff then provided the follow- up necessary to ensure successful participation in the program. (appendix II-i) 3) The I.S.H.P. has also made an agreement to prepare and refer ten candidates to the C.E.T.A. Adult Training Program. (appendix II-j) �-4- 4) The bilingual staff consulted with the COlllDlunity Health Clinic to develop and translate lite~~ture regarding health and nutritlon for refugees. (appendix 11-k) 5) The l.S.H.P. coqi>erated with the local antipoverty agency, Community Teamwork, Inc., in translating and distributing information regarding fuel assistance, housing, and day care programs. The bilingual staff assisted C.T.I. in processing over 50 applications for housing and 40 applications for fuel a~sistance, (appendix II-1) 6) Distribution of the Orientation Packages developed by the Orientation Resource Center. (appendix lI-m) 7) The Foundation signed an agreement wit~ the U.S. Public Health Hospitals to assist them in reaching Indochinese • refugees that were without medical coverage. (appendix 11-n) Bicultural and Bieducational Development: The Bicultural development of Indochinese refugees and - the conmunities they are living in is one of the most crucial roles played by the MAA's. It is crucial because it is a role that can only be performed by the MAA's due to its coumWlity involvement. When the Fowidation was established in Lowell, refugees were a fragmented, isolated population often unable to find basic necessities of life. Because of the role models and contacts provided by our own Board of Directors, (made up largely of former refugees), we have been able to tap directly into the refugee c01Dnunity's own organizations and their leaders. 1) Symposium - On April 10th the I.S.H.P. sponsored the first combined Indochinese Symposium and Cultural Evening in New England at the Univers~ty of Lowell. The day-time program featured guest speakers and three panels on Cambodian, Laotian, and Vietnamese education, career planning, and family structure. We were fortunate to have Mr. Jesse Bunch, Executive Director of I.R.A.C. in Washington, D.C., as our keynote speaker, Dr. Pho Ba Long, from the Orientation Resource Center in Washington, D.C., ·four cross-cultural specialists from the Center for Applied Linguistics in Washington, D.C., and a variety of educational and human service �-5experts from Mass. The day program was well received by nearly 300 participants from various educational, health, and social service agencies,_.sponsors and friends of refugees all over and particularly from Region Ill. The Cultural Evening featured songs, dances, instrument~, and customs from Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Th~ Fdundation was able to draw on the resources of over 80 Indochinese volunteers from across the state, to deliver this outstanding show. The Foundation was also able to raise $1,600.00 to offset costs not covered by the grant for the program. Both the day and evening programs were over subscribed one week before the Symposium. Over 500 people attended the Evening Program. (appendix 11-o) 2) Board members have provided technical assistance to emerging self-help groups. 3) · Solic·i ted donations on behalf of these groups. 4) Sponsored the development of the Laotian Dance Troupe. 5) Secured a paid performance for the Troupe at the Lowell International Festival. (appendix 11-p) 6) Sponsored a bus ride to Boston to facilitate shopping for ethnic foods. Cognunity Activities: During this year, members of the Board of Directors participated in the: -Southeast Asian Festival -Lowell lnternationa·l Festival by providing the Laotian Dance Troupe -Whole World Celebration Program sponsored by the International Institute of Boston -The I.R.F. co-sponsored the "Buddhist Salvation Service and Ecumenical Witness for Cambodia ~.nd its People" Ill. IDENTIFICATION Of TARGET AR.EA AND POPULATION: During the past year, there has been a tremendous influx of Indochinese refugees into Massachusetts, bringing the latest totals to over 8,000 who have resettled in this state. It is estimated that nearly fifteen percent of those refugees have resettled in the greater Lowell area, exhausting existing resources such ~s; jobs, housing, medical and social services. �-6- The first group of Indochinese refugees brought approximately 200 Vietnamese people to the Ereater Lowell area between 1976-79. These refugees, generally sponsored by churches and family members, were educated and capable of resettling independently. Then, between 1979 and the present timd, an additional 800 refugees were resettled in the Lowell area, this time largely of Laotian descent, without sponsors or relatives to help them. The l.S.H.P. conducted a needs assessment survey in February of 1981 with 150 Indochinese refugees who arrived in Lowell after August, 1980. The survey showed that these new arrivals differed from the 1976-79 arrivals in that most of them are unskilled and uneducated. Since many of the 1,000 refugees mentioned above arrived within a six month period, their lack of skills, education, sponsors, and other social support have left them in· the most deplorable living situations. As mentioned, this dramatic influx of unskilled refugees put a tremendous drain on the city's resources. The low-income housing and entry-level jobs that onca made Lowell attractive, are now non-existent. This has resulted in a concurrent increase in the number of refugees dependent on public assistance for survival. As can be seen in table one, in May 1980, there were 130 refugees receiving cash and medical assistance in greater Lowell, or 28% of the refugee population. By May 1981, there had been a 400% increase, bringing the total of refugees receiving public assistance to 561 or 56% of the refugee populati~n. The projection for year end 1982 by resettlement agencies and sponsors indicated an increase of up to 700 arrivals for greater Lowell. If similar patterns are followed, 84% of the refugee population will be receiving public assistance next year. �-7REFUGEE POPULATION INCREASES/WELFARE DEPENDENCY LOtal Population 450 1000 1700 • 100-Z. 70-Z. ~eceiving Cash Assistance 130 561 1428 Percent of Pop~lation Receivinf Cash and Medical ssistance 28% 56% 84'%. 400% 25C>i Percent Increase ln Pooulation Percent Increase of Refugee Population Receivimz Ass·istance 12~0 i2a~ i2a1 Many of the refugee families in Lowell live in crowded, one and two bedroom apartments that are often without heat or water in the winter, glass in the windows, or protection from fast increasing rents. They are often subject to medical and·financial emergencies that are far beyond their ability to manage. Despite our efforts to alert the cOD1Duni~y that our funding is limited and thus the scope of service, requests for assistance have inundated the Project. Ho$pital and health clinic staff, social service professionals, other local agency staff, and refugees have continually called on our staff on an emergency basis. Poor public transportation, lack of outreach, and unavailability of bilingual staff have kept the Indochinese refugees in Lowell isolated from Boston area services. Prior to the establishment of the Indochinese Self-Help Project in Lowell, the only service offered to the refugees were thr~e ESL classes that were s~bcontracted to the local Adult Learning Center by the International Institute of Lawrence. The Institute of ,Lawrence was Wlable to provide case management or other support services to the refugees. In the Lowell area, there are three times as many Laotians as there are Cambodians or Vietnamese. These new arrivals differ from the 1975-76 refugees in that most of them are unskilled, Wleducated, and have little · experience in the 9-5 industrial work pattern. Most of them do not h~ve the English skills necessary to find employment. Without the proper preparation for employment these refugees will inevitably beccme public charges. •. • •. ••• • • .

These problems are further complicated by poor health, inability to communicate, and a lack of understanding of the new culture that surrounds them. The need for post resettlement services is critical, for without proper training and support, these refugees will join the millions of alienated poor - isolated in their own communities and dependent on public assistance for their life tlme. The following proposal for continuation calls for increased funding for the present project in order to respond to the influx of refugees in this area until December 11, 1981, when the Indochinese Refugees Foundation is able to secure fundi.ng on a state level. IV. OBJECTIVES / The overall objective of the Indochinese Self-Help Project is to assist Indochinese refugees in their effort to achieve economic independence and social well being. The Self-Help Project proposes to continue and expand itq three components: ESL, Job Development, and Social Support for an additional 3 months. By providing these services we will addr~s~ the above menti~ned problems with the following objectives: a) -To increase English language skillq of Indochinese on three levels. b) -To equip Indochinese refugees with Engll~h Rktlls necessary to find employment in the U.S. c) -To enable the refugee to plan a cnreer that would remove him/her from Welfare dependency. d) -Seek placement in stable emplovment for 70 refugees ... e) -To prevent social maladjustment. f) -To increase the ability of Indochlne~e refugees to interact more effectively with their new envt.ronment. g) -To develop and maintain native ethni.c pride and identity. h) -To facilitate assistance from other servtce agencies. i) -To remove 20 refugees from Welfare dependency . • �-9- METHODS Once the continuation of the Project is approved, the present staffs' positions will be expanded to full - time. The Project Director will recruit the additional staff/consultants as soon as possible thereafter (we have ·several cOl'll1littments for the time period of this grant). All service components will begin the first week. ESL: For the remaining three months in the Project, there will be two classes of English conducted at the International Institute of Lowell each day for two hours each class. The ESL Instructor/Guidance Counselor will test all students within the first week of registration with the assistance of the bilingual staff. Students will then be placed in either Survival ESL or Pre-vocational ESL, according to their skill level. There will be forty students in each class which will begin October 5th and end December 25th . The ESL instructor will conduct these classes with the assistance of the bilingual staff for a total of 20 hours a week. The curriculum for Pre-Vocational English will emphasize improvement in skills regarding employability. The curriculum for the Survival ESL will stress conversation skills that will impact on the refugees' abilities to integrate themselves into the American way of life. (See Appendix V.) Employment: Each student will be interviewed on a monthlj basis by the Guidance Counselor to evaluate the student's vocational interests, experiences, and aptitude . The counselor will work with the student to develop an individualized plan to achieve the student's employment goals. Based on data collected from the Guidance Counselor, the Job Developer will begin to meet with prospective employers in order to identify and develop potential worksites. The Job Developer will analyze the labor market and seek job opportunities for the refugee students. She will then review openings with her staff and prospective applicants will be screened by her with the assistance of the bilingual staff. The Job Developer will then arrange an interview between the employer and the prospective applicant. Bilingual staff will assist the applicant in the interview. The Job Developer will then contact the employer, to inquire if the student was awarded the position. If so, the Job Developer and bilingual staff will act as a resource to the em~loyer to insure successful integration of the student in hislber new job. The Job Developer will follow-up one month after employment begins. t 4 �-10- Social Support Serv~ces: r . Since there are currently no monies available until January l, 1982, the l.S.H.P. will maintain its lnf,ormation and Referral service to the greater Lowell c0DD1unity, until at which time it is hoped there will be funds available for Case Management services. The Project Director will provide t'his service with the assistance of the staff. Interpretation/Translation Services: The Project Director will develop a list of available interpreters who will be contracted to deliver interpreter services. These interpreters will be assigned to assist refugees in hospital/clinic visits and other appointments, on an emergency basis, where no alternatives can be found. The Project Director will receive requests and refer interpreters during oftice hours. Lists of interpreters will be distributed to area hospitals and other key 24-hour services who will be authorized to request the interpreters services directly on an emergency basis. The interpreter would have a voucher signed by the agency receiving , the service and submit the voucher t~·the Project for reimbursement. This service would be available to all area refugees and service providers . Emergency medical needs would be the first priority for the service, followed by requests from the Department of Social Services, Welfare, Health Clinics, etc.. The Project will provide approximately 1$ hours of interpretive services weekly. ·' ' . ... ~· - .. .... .---...... ~ - -- . · -:· ·-· . ···· ··- - . . . ..

FUTURE FUNDING The Indochinese Refugees Foundation,-'lnc. is establishing contacts with resettlement agencies (Volags) to subcontract direct services to the refugees coming in to the area. Its staff shall have a project•proposal ready to submit to the COD1Donwealth IRAP office to deliver additional direct services to the refugees. It will also continue to organize fund raising drives among the members and the charitable organizations. �...

In short. we have found t11e Project to be an extre111ely reliable and accessible resource to which we can turn for expertise ctnd assistance 111 addressing refugee crises. The essential' ·nature of their service is underscored by the fact that they are. in our . experience, the only Lowel 1-area resource equipped to provice the community with these case-management services. ·· ·· In addition to this service, the lndoChinese ~elt-Helµ ProJect has taken the lead in facilitating the organization dnd e111µowen11ent of the three IndoChinese ethnic communities through the supµort and resourcing of their gatherings and the nurturing of their own indigenous let1J(~ rship.
