Resources for AAPI Population
Single-race, non-Hispanic Asians are expected to become the largest immigrant group in the country, surpassing Hispanics in 2055, according to population projections from the Pew Research Center. The Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community confronts a range of intricate challenges as they navigate the dynamics of relocation and resettlement. Within this diverse group, individuals may face language barriers, cultural adjustments, and limited access to educational and employment opportunities, impacting their overall integration into the United States. Culturally specific considerations, such as diverse traditions, languages, and customs, necessitate tailored support services to address their unique needs. A holistic approach that incorporates language assistance, cultural competency training for service providers, and targeted support can contribute to the successful integration of the AAPI community.
