Description
My Community NM is the State's only bilingual, on-line resource directory . The project, which began in 2002, has been developed through an ongoing partnership with community leaders from La Comunidad Habla . La Comunidad Habla was recently featured in an important research paper sponsored by the Federal Communication Commission--Broadband Adoption In Low-Income Communities . Unlike most other resource directories that focus on particular populations and specific service needs, My NM includes health, social service, legal, transportation, recreation, and advocacy resources for all high-risk populations. We are a collaborative project that is supported by a growing list of community partners who are passionate about providing up to date resource information to their constituencies.
