The three year project will make grants to four partnerships between a SHINE (Serving the Health Information Needs of Elders) program and an immigrant-serving community-based organization. One SHINE project already serves Chinese speaking elders and caregivers. The underserved LEP communities to be served through the grant and the community partners are: Spanish (Lawrence COA, the Seaton Asian Center and the Elder Services of Merrimack Valley); Haitian Creole (Haitian American Public Health Initiative and the Health and Social Services Consortium, Inc.); Portuguese (Immigrants Assistance Center and The Middleboro Council on Aging), and Vietnamese (Vietnamese American Civic Association and the Greater Boston Chinese Golden Age Center.
