Access to immigrant-serving organizations

Spatial access by the enhanced two-step floating catchment area method (E2SFCA). Darker green = better access; orange = a service desert (people who need it, but no organization within reach); gray = no foreign-born population. Source: org locations + US Census ACS 2023.

Immigrant Policy Inclusion Index

How inclusive each state’s policies are toward immigrants, across seven domains: health coverage, language access, higher education, identification, integration & licensure, legal protection, and economic inclusion. Darker green = more inclusive; orange/red = more restrictive or limited. Click any state for its full profile.

Immigrant–Native Disparity Index

Standardized gaps between foreign-born and US-born residents (uninsured, crowded housing, rent burden, education, home internet, vehicle access, homeownership) from US Census ACS. Green = smaller gaps; red = larger gaps. This is an outcome measure, separate from the Policy map: it describes how immigrant and US-born residents differ, and is shaped by who has immigrated where (recency and composition), not by state policy alone.

African Family Holistic Health Organization is a nonprofit organization in Portland, Oregon that serves immigrants and refugees.

AFHHO serves Portland's African immigrant and refugee diaspora with community health worker outreach, health education, maternal health support, housing and emergency assistance, financial and digital literacy, mental health support, and advocacy.

Mission

TO EMPOWER, EDUCATE, AND CONNECT AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS & REFUGEES THROUGH HOLISTIC APPROACHES. AGING & PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES PROGRAM. AFHHO LAUNCHED THE SENIOR WELLNESS AND CONNECTION PROGRAM TO ADDRESS SOCIAL ISOLATION AMONG ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS IN OUR COMMUNITY. SOCIAL ISOLATION IN OLDER ADULTS CAN STEM FROM SOCIAL DISCONNECTEDNESS (PHYSICAL SEPARATION) AND PERCEIVED ISOLATION (FEELINGS OF LONELINESS AND LACK OF SUPPORT). RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ISOLATION IS LINKED TO POORER HEALTH OUTCOMES AND IS MORE PRONOUNCED IN MEN AND THOSE WITH POORER HEALTH, WHILE THOSE IN BETTER HEALTH FEEL LESS ISOLATED.
