Narrative

Information and referral, and advocacy for non-English speaking residents in the New Bedford area to assist them in receiving appropriate social services.

The IAC is where immigrants turn when first in the US for basic needs like food, shelter, and clothing.  As well, the IAC helps immigrants travel the often rocky and complex road to citizenship, and ultimately to secure employment and develop financial self-sufficiency.  In doing so, the IAC provides direct and indirect services to immigrants and non-English speaking persons, including referral to any and all existing public and private agencies that will assist them in satisfying their social, economic and cultural needs.
