Koreans and Asian Indians in the North Penn Area – A Needs Assessment Report (2008)

This needs assessment project began several years ago. It set out to answer the following question:  What must the social and health services network of agencies, providers and funders in the North Penn area know and understand about the needs of the Korean and Asian Indian populations in our community, to improve service provision and respond to their health, family, personal and social service needs?

This report is intended to serve three primary audiences:  agencies, organizations, service providers, and groups that provide social and health services; funders and government agencies that fund or contract for such services; and members of the Korean and Asian Indian communities.

The report also contains 60 recommendations for future action, which are directed to the social service and health care community, funders, educational systems, and to the Korean and Asian Indian communities.
