  • Chinese Immigrant Transnational Organizations in the United States1
    Draft, 05-10-2012 Traversing Ancestral and New Homelands: Chinese Immigrant Transnational Organizations in the United States1 Min Zhou and Rennie Lee University of California, Los Angeles [To be presented at the Transnational Network Meeting, Center for Migration and Development, Princeton University, May 11-12, 2012; to be included in Portes, Alejandro (ed.), Development at a Distance: The Role of Immigrant Organizations in the Development of Sending Nations. New York: Russell Sage Foundation.] Over the past three decades, immigrant transnational organizations in the United States have proliferated with accelerated international migration and the rise of new transportation and communication technologies that facilitate long-distance and cross-border ties. Their impact and influence have grown in tandem with immigrants’ drive to make it in America—their new homeland—as well as with the need for remittances and investments in sending countries—their ancestral homelands. Numerous studies of immigrant groups found that remittances and migrant investments represented one of the major sources of foreign exchange of sending countries and were used as “collateral” for loans from international financial institutions (Basch et al. 1994; Glick-Schiller et al. 1992; Portes et al. 1999). Past studies also found that transnational flows were not merely driven by individual behavior but by collective forces via organizations as well (Goldring 2002; Landolt 2000; Moya 2005; Piper 2009; Popkin 1999; Portes et al. 2007; Portes and Zhou 2012; Schrover and Vermeulen 2005; Waldinger et al. 2008). But the density and strength of the economic, sociocultural, and political ties of immigrant groups across borders vary, and the effects of immigrant transnational organizations on homeland development vary (Portes et al.

  • Kin Onannual
    ANNUAL KIN ON REPORT 2019 MAKE A DIFFERENCE健安 WHERE年度報告 IT MATTERS. Kin On was built by the Chinese-American community for our Asian elders. For over 30 years, we have stayed true to our Asian roots. Today, we are on a path of continual growth, expanding both the range and types of services throughout the Puget Sound region. All of this is made possible through the generosity of our community. FOR PARTNERING WITH US! Dear Friends of Kin On, Over the past three decades, Kin On has weathered many storms thanks to the strong leadership of our CEOs (Sam Wan, and now Nigel Lo), steadfast dedication of our staff, and unwavering support of the board, donors and volunteers. To all of you, thank you! 2019 continued to be a challenging year for nursing homes across the state. The closure of Keiro served as a wake-up call for many skilled nursing facilities, but particularly hit home with Kin On since we were the only two nursing homes in the Northwest serving the API community. Despite the multitude of challenges, we are committed more than ever to providing the best care for our elders and families, while evolving our services to respond to their changing needs. I am grateful to share some major milestones accomplished in 2019: • Despite diminishing reimbursement rates, minimum wage regulations, and other external financial pressures, Kin On’s overall operations remain strong and financially sound. • After two years of construction, our assisted living and adult family home finally opened last summer. We look forward to meeting the growing supportive housing needs of the Asian community.

  • Annual Report a Word from the Executive Director
    YEAR 2019 ANNUAL REPORT A WORD FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Seeing our team in action throughout 2019 meant seeing their passion and commitment to serving the community. Whether we’re faced with opportunities or challenges, we remain grounded in our efforts to bridge cultures, communities and generations. This philosophy has guided our work over 47 years to develop programs and take on new, ambitious projects to serve the entire family and community. Research shows the critical brain development that occurs between birth and age five. To ensure the families we serve have access to quality early childhood education programs, CISC embraced the Best Starts for Kids initiative approved by voters in 2015. In 2019, we continued to build and expand programs that enable parents, grandparents, and caregivers to develop their children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and bilingual skills. At our graduation events, smiles from family members showed their appreciation for and pride in the progress their children made toward being ready for kindergarten. For the first time, the U.S. census is being conducted primarily online. With critical federal funding at stake that supports health, education, social services, and more for the next decade, CISC launched efforts to promote full participation in the 2020 Census. Our entire staff were mobilized to educate our immigrant communities about the importance of the census. We are focusing especially on our seniors to ensure they have the language and technical support they need to be counted —particularly since programs like Medicare and caregiver support are federally funded. CISC is partnering with HealthierHere to improve health and advance equity in King County.

  • Kin Onannual
    ANNUAL KIN ON REPORT 2020 MAKE A DIFFERENCE健安 WHERE年度報告 IT MATTERS. Kin On was built by the Chinese-American community for our Asian elders. For over 35 years, we have stayed true to our Asian roots. Today, we are on a path of continual growth, expanding both the range and types of services throughout the Puget Sound region. All of this is made possible through the generosity of our community. FOR PARTNERING WITH US! About this time last year, when we were preparing the 2019 annual report, the coronavirus pandemic was well underway. Kin On was moving into uncharted territory with a great deal of anxiety. After all, one of the first outbreaks of COVID-19 in the country occurred in a local nursing home. Kin On wasted little time and swung into action immediately, developing plans for infection prevention and control while seeking to adapt to the unprecedented situation. Under the leadership of our former CEO Nigel Lo and his management team, Kin On was able to keep the infection minimal among the staff and residents. 2020 was a year of “firsts” for us. The board of directors had to face the unfamiliarity of going virtual, while also making sure Kin On complied with all the safety and health standards during a pandemic. For the first time, the board had to conduct a CEO search entirely online, yet was able to find a remarkable and well-qualified candidate in Min Chang, who we cannot be more pleased to have leading Kin On during this challenging time. At the same time, the board would like to thank Nigel for his leadership and dedicated service to Kin On, and wish him good luck in his retirement.

  • Changing Patterns of Chinese Immigration and Diaspora-Homeland Interactions in Singapore and the United States
    Draft, November 2012 Comments welcome; please do not cite without authors’ permission Changing Patterns of Chinese Immigration and Diaspora-Homeland Interactions in Singapore and the United States Min Zhou University of California, Los Angeles, USA Hong Liu Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Abstract: After several decades’ hiatus, there has been a sustained surge of Chinese emigration and resurgent opportunities for transnational activity since 1978. In this paper, we engage with the burgeoning literature on transnationalism, focusing on the roles of immigrant agency, disaporic communities, and nation states to examine the means and consequences of diaspora- homeland interactions in different host societies. Specifically, we address the following questions: (1) How do emigration histories and receiving contexts matter in shaping diasporic formation? (2) Who is involved in diaspora-homeland interactions and what roles do different actors play? (3) What bearing do immigrants’ transnational engagements have on their hostland integration? Through a comparative analysis of contemporary Chinese immigration to Singapore and the United States, we examine the interrelations among different actors and the roles each plays in cross-border activities. We find that differences in emigration histories and receiving contexts affect diasporic formation. We also find that immigrants maintain ties to their homeland, or sending state governments reach out to expatriates, through diasporic communities despite differences in diasporic formation. Moreover, varied levels of diaspora integration into the receiving countries affect how receiving states respond to immigrant transnationalism. Finally, we discuss the implications of homeland-diaspora interactions, showing that transnationalism is utilized by new Chinese immigrants as an alternative means to socioeconomic status attainment and that it facilitates, rather than hinders, immigrant integration into host societies.

  • Annual Report
    Bridging Cultures, Communities and Generations Annual Report MISSION STATEMENT: Creating opportunities for Asian immigrants and their families to succeed by helping them make the transition to a new life while keeping later generations in touch with their rich heritage. CISC helps Asian and other immigrants throughout King County achieve success in their new community by providing infor- mation, referral, advocacy, social and support services. CISC was started in 1972 by a group of energetic college and high school students. They worked as part-time volunteers in a tiny donated space in Chinatown to fulfill a community need. The early focus was on helping non-English speaking elderly in the community. Later, CISC broadened its scope and added adult and youth employment programs, ESL and naturaliza- tion classes, family and youth services, domestic violence and crime victim services, and a community technology center. Over the years, CISC has continued to respond to community needs by bringing access to services. In 2007, CISC partnered with other community based organizations and began providing immigrant transition services on the Eastside and at its International Family Center-Kent in Chinese, Vietnamese, Spanish, Russian, and the languages of India through its Cultural Navigator Program. Each year, CISC serves over 20,000 immigrants and their families throughout King County, Washington (including Seattle). These services help to overcome barriers, facilitate transition and integration into the mainstream community. 2013 Board of Directors Management Team Janet Ung, President Dorothy Wong, Executive Director Helen Ling, Vice President Stephen Lam, Elderly Program Director Linda Louie, Secretary Hueiling Chan, Case Management Clinical Director Rocky Fong, Treasurer Kevin Chan, Office Manager Michael Chan Mary Hsu 611 S Lane St.
