Immigrants and/or migrants
Describe the challenge you want to address:
families with individuals and family members who are justice impacted, older adults with children and grandchildren in the home and the adults are immigrants with limited English proficiency. Having language barriers prevent and hinder the ability to get resources for those who are justice impacted
Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:
Create quarterly pop up events with resources. These pop up events will be for the entire family and focus on different cultural foods, family children focused workshops for all ages, employment booths and providing financial literacy materials in multiple languages.
