Proposal Narrative: Our proposal entitled “Empowering Asian Families” addresses State Plan Goal 5 (Early Intervention, Education, Transition and Post- Secondary Education) and Goal 6 (Formal and Informal Community Supports), specifically targeting underserved Asian families residing in the East Bay of northern California who speak primarily Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese and Korean languages.
