Community health centers and social service providers often work with individuals and families who have immigrated to the United States.  Professionals must continuously adapt to new arrivals while also providing services to more established immigrant groups.  New arrivals come with unknown backgrounds, experiences of trauma, and language needs, as well as a lack of social supports.  Established communities continue to have needs, and those needs change as they move through various life stages.  Community health centers and social service providers are responsible to meet the needs of each of these groups, and have varying self-reported success in doing such. 

It is hypothesized that the results of this study will show that while many centers and agencies face similar challenges, there is not a mechanism to collaborate effectively with each other, to create a network of coordinated services that would enhance services while decreasing burdens on individual centers.  Nor is there a system to best prepare the centers for new communities.  The findings have been compiled in a website for service providers as a tool to help ensure best practices when supporting all immigrants.
