Mission Statement
Our mission is to affirm, protect, and empower the minority elderly and their families by ensuring that their human needs are met under the law. A primary concern is the access, acquisition, and protection of senior rights and entitlements.
We believe in the fundamental right of each individual to age with dignity irrespective of ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, language, citizen status, or income.
