Concept Papers in 2016

Comprehensive Services for Immigrant Families

The goals of the Comprehensive Services to Immigrant Families programs are to:

• Identify the complex and multiple needs of newly-arrived immigrant families with limited English proficiency (LEP), and, in collaboration with a network of community-based providers, ensure they gain access to relevant services that will help them prosper and become self-sufficient.
• Help each enrolled family build self-advocacy skills and gain the knowledge to enable them to address specific challenges and navigate key systems that impact their lives (for example, the education, healthcare, housing, benefits, tax, workplace, and legal and immigration systems).

Through the RFP, DYCD will look to award contracts to qualified, nonprofit organizations to deliver comprehensive services for immigrant families living in low-income neighborhoods.
