The Commission has also tremendously increased its work with the East Asian, African, Caribbean, Latin, and other immigrant communities. Our agency uses a multifaceted approach to reach our city’s immigrant population by partnering with houses of worship, libraries, advocacy groups, and other organizations servicing immigrant communities. The agency has created safe spaces for immigrant communities with our forums, panel discussions, resource fairs, and celebratory events.
