The Chinese American Service League, Inc. (CASL) was awarded a $150,000 Project Grant under the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Bureau of Justice Assistance's "Missing Alzheimer's Disease Patient Assistance Program" (CFDA 16.015) to provide high-quality comprehensive social services and community engagement to improve racial justice, build a dementia-friendly and safe environment for low-income, limited English-speaking older adults living with Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's-related dementias, and/or developmental disabilities in Chicago. The 3-year grant period runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026. The goal of this program is to support local efforts to reduce deaths and injuries of individuals with forms of dementia or developmental disabilities who wander from safe environments. CASL, a non-profit community-based organization, has over 45 years of experience delivering culturally-tailored educational, workforce development, healthcare, and senior services to underserved Chinese American constituents in Chicago.
