A Journey of Giving Hearts a Journey of Giving Hearts About the Chinese Community Center The Chinese Community Center (CCC), a United Way Agency, was founded in 1979 as a Chinese language and cultural heritage school to provide education and support to immigrants who had recently arrived in the United States. Since then, CCC has expanded its programming to offer comprehensive, wraparound services that address the needs of Greater Houston residents from any racial or ethnic group and at any stage of life—from early childhood to retirement age. As we continue to look forward, CCC is committed to serve the lives of more than 20,000 Greater Houstonians annually through its mission of bridging East and West by enriching families with educational, cultural, and social service programs. EDUCATION The Early Learning Center helps young children achieve age-appropriate developmental milestones and become independent learners and thinkers as they prepare to enter kindergarten. The program is part of United Way’s Bright Beginnings initiative and is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). The Youth program, part of United Way’s Education Collaborative, assists at-risk, minority, and immigrant students in their academic and interpersonal development. The program offers after-school activities and a summer camp that place an emphasis on providing quality academic support and character building. SOCIAL SERVICES CCC is a member of United Way THRIVE, a designated LISC Financial Opportunity Center, and an approved Housing Counseling Agency by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Our services include financial education, employment training, career and financial coaching, benefits enrollment assistance, citizenship assistance, and first-time homebuyer education. HEALTH & WELLNESS This program helps older adults maintain their well-being and connection to the community through such services as our membership-based Wellness Program, Caregiver Support and Education, and Wan Yuan Senior Companionship. CULTURE & COMMUNITY The Language School offers Chinese classes for children and adults, as well as leisure learning courses, such as piano, calligraphy, and arts and crafts. Asian Heritage Tours showcase the best cultural, shopping, and dining hot spots in southwest Houston through bus tours, walking tours, culinary evenings, and Chinese cultural performances. The Lunar New Year Festival is an annual, family-friendly event that brings the community together to celebrate the most important holiday in Chinese culture. 關於中華文化服務中心 成立於1979年,中華文化服務中心的起始為一所中文語言學校,旨在為初來乍到的新移民提供教 育服務和幫助。自成立以來,文化中心的項目內容就不斷逐年增加,為來自不同族裔和不同年齡 層的居民提供越來越完善的幫助。 回首過去的40年,文化中心一直秉持其宗旨:“通過教育,文化和社會服務項目來作為融通中西的 橋”, 已經服務了大休士頓地區超過兩萬人士。 教育 文心早教中心幫助年幼的孩童們培養獨立的學習和思考能力,並為他們進 入下一階段的幼兒園做好準備。此項目隸屬於United Way Bright Beginnings項 目 , 并 獲 得 了 全 國 幼 兒 教 育 協 會 的 認 可 。 青少年計劃通過學術和人文發展項目幫處於劣勢的少數族裔和移民學生成 功融入社區。此計劃提供課後活動和著重於提供優質的學術支持和性格培 養的夏令營。 社會服務 中華文化服務中心是United Way THRIVE成員之一,指定的LISC金融協助中心,也是 由美國住房和城市發展部批准的住房諮詢機構。我們的服務包擴金融教育、就 業培訓、職業和金融指導、福利註冊協助、公民申請協助和首次購房者教育。 健康與養生 此計劃通過會員制度的養生課程、居家護理課程以及晚緣項目來幫助年長 者保持健康並成功融入社區。 文化與社區 中文學校提供青少年以及成人中文語言課程,並另設有其他文化相關課程 如鋼琴、書法、傳統藝術和手工。 亞洲文化之旅項目形式多樣,抱括通過巴士之旅、步行之旅、烹飪課程和 中華傳統藝術表演等,藉此發揚中華文化,並推廣休士頓西南區地區的文 化、購物和餐飲的熱點地區。 年度盛事農曆新年園遊會非常適合家庭參加,旨在將社區召集在一起,共同 慶祝中華文化中最重要的節日。 Capacity Building Campaign Benefactors 2003 – 2007 $250,000 & Up $10,000 to $49,999 $5,000 to $ 9,999 City of Houston CDBG Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Agama Systems, Inc.

  • Chinatown and Urban Redevelopment: a Spatial Narrative of Race, Identity, and Urban Politics 1950 – 2000
    CHINATOWN AND URBAN REDEVELOPMENT: A SPATIAL NARRATIVE OF RACE, IDENTITY, AND URBAN POLITICS 1950 – 2000 BY CHUO LI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor D. Fairchild Ruggles, Chair Professor Dianne Harris Associate Professor Martin Manalansan Associate Professor Faranak Miraftab Abstract The dissertation explores the intricate relations between landscape, race/ethnicity, and urban economy and politics in American Chinatowns. It focuses on the landscape changes and spatial struggles in the Chinatowns under the forces of urban redevelopment after WWII. As the world has entered into a global era in the second half of the twentieth century, the conditions of Chinatown have significantly changed due to the explosion of information and the blurring of racial and cultural boundaries. One major change has been the new agenda of urban land planning which increasingly prioritizes the rationality of capital accumulation. The different stages of urban redevelopment have in common the deliberate efforts to manipulate the land uses and spatial representations of Chinatown as part of the socio-cultural strategies of urban development. A central thread linking the dissertation’s chapters is the attempt to examine the contingent and often contradictory production and reproduction of socio-spatial forms in Chinatowns when the world is increasingly structured around the dynamics of economic and technological changes with the new forms of global and local activities. Late capitalism has dramatically altered city forms such that a new understanding of the role of ethnicity and race in the making of urban space is required.

    Volume 6, Number 2 May 2016 is APA Heritage Month! Spring 2016 Ed Gor: Have We Already Seen the Greatest Generation of Chinese Americans? Published almost 20 years ago, journalist and former NBC News broad- caster Tom Brokaw’s book, The Greatest Generation, chronicles what his parents’ generation—those born between 1910 and the mid-1920s— accomplished in youth and adulthood. From interviews and conversations with these women and men, he discusses the sacrifices those men and women made, the bodily harm and suffering in the war to end all wars, their remarkable diligence in building families and businesses, the cour- age they displayed in rehabilitating their physical and emotional war wounds, and the integrity of character and commitment to values that in- fused their lives. As they continued to stare down life’s challenges, they never griped or complained even as their lives were mixed with courage and perseverance, tragedy and sadness, and triumphs and miracles. Entering our 121st year of service, Chinese American Citizens Alliance continues to look ahead at how we see our role in this country by looking back at our history as an organization challenged to address society’s treatment and place for Chinese in the 1890’s. Our Archive Project to gather, categorize, and turn over our recorded history to the Stanford University Libraries remains a major undertaking. Just look for the stories of the Chinese who worked on the Transcontinental Railroad. You won’t find many names or photographs, but you can find their stories written on walls or artwork. We believe that within our own records, there may be documentation linking many C.A.C.A.

    Journal of Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences 2021, Volume 15, Issue 1, Pages 87–103 DOI: 10.5590/JSBHS.2021.15.1.07 © The Author(s) Original Research Family-Based Caregiving: Does Lumping Asian Americans Together Do More Harm Than Good? Suryadewi E. Nugraheni, MD, MA University at Albany, State University of New York, Albany, New York, United States https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0330-2835 Julia F. Hastings, PhD, MSW University at Albany, State University of New York, Albany, New York, United States https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2262-2279 Contact: [email protected] Abstract Asian American family caregivers have gained increased attention due to the need to provide life-sustaining aid at home given the rising numbers of older adults. This article reflects upon caregiving-related research studies that have overlooked the circumstances Asian American caregivers bring to the home-care context. Policies written to address community needs tend to omit the social circumstances many Asian American caregivers must face when trying to take advantage of programs and services. For example, the eligibility requirements fail to recognize distinctive cultural values embedded within the caregiving processes. Further, most Asian American data is aggregated. Aggregating data by ethnicity limits an accurate portrayal of social circumstances. The health effects developed from caregiving demands tend to remain unaddressed and the distribution of goods and essential services generally does not reach many home-based Asian American caregivers in need. This text examines a within-group perspective to uncover sociocultural dimensions influencing caregiving. Different perspectives include those of government and community agencies, research institutions, and data-driven websites (e.g., U.S.

  • AASFH Thank You Letter to Donors Updated
    Asian Americans Salute Frontline Heroes Dear friends, Asian Americans Salute Frontline Heroes (AASFH) has successfully concluded its campaign. Your generous donation which serves as the cornerstone of our campaign allows us to accomplish all our objectives in a very short 7-week period. Every committee member has worked tirelessly to make this possible. Below is a brief summary of what we have accomplished for each of our three objectives: 1. Honoring our frontline heroes who are putting their lives at risk for our benefit. We have delivered 10,000 meals to frontline heroes (doctors, nurses, policemen, firefighters, sanitary workers, health department employees…) at more than 50 separate locations. 2. Helping Asian restaurants that are struggling due to this pandemic. We have paid more than $100,000 for the above 10,000 meals to more than 30 Asian restaurants. 3. Counteracting the growing anti-Asian sentiment and highlighting contributions of Asian Americans during this pandemic. We have published two full-page and two half-page ads (see attached) in Houston Chronicle to highlight the contribution of Asian Americans to this pandemic (more than 3 million dollars in total donation) and to address the issue of growing anti-Asian sentiment due to the pandemic. We have held a press conference with Mayor Turner highlighting the above issues. We had great coverage of our effort by Houston Chronicle which also highlighted the Asian American contributions. We have held an award ceremony honoring the two heroes who intervened when an Asian American family in Midland, Texas was attacked with a knife due to the growing anti-Asian sentiment.
