Elder Refugee Initiative Toolkit
MAAA's goal is to create a community environment that recognizes and
values differences and to advocate for the expanded
availability of programs that serve metro-area residents of all backgrounds.
Minnesota's Refugee Communities at a Glance
Most older adults residing in Minnesota are able to readily access a
fully-developed system of home and community based long-term care
services such as meals, transportation, homemaker, home health care,
adult day services and caregiver support. The situation is not the same
for Minnesota's older refugees. They face significant barriers accessing
these services and therefore do not use supports that would help them
maintain independence in the community. Through grant funding from the
Minnesota Department of Human Services Office of Refugee and
Resettlement MAAA developed an online toolkit relating to the cultural
experiences of three prominent refugee groups in Minnesota.
