Building a strong Vietnamese American community & transforming Fields Corner into a vibrant, diverse neighborhood

[Mass. HLC @MA_EOHLC]

We broke ground at Hamilton at Mount Everett last month, which is @vietaid's first supportive housing project for older residents. It will provide 36 affordable new homes in Dorchester's Fields Corner neighborhood and reinforce their mission of building a vibrant community.

📰 The @DotNews highlights how EEC's EEOST grant supported @vietaid's playground renovations so "all students can use the bigger space at the same time. There are accessible doors directly outside from classrooms, new lighting for late afternoon play& a padded resilient surface."

[MA Dept of Early Education and Care @MassEarlyEdCare]

Wonderful visiting @vietaid last week to celebrate their new playground!

The playground was supported with a $250,000 EEOST grant, helping kids learn, play & grow in high-quality, fun & safe learning environments. #CapitalFunding #Dorchester #Community #ChildCare

Nonprofit group @vietaid started giving out food in the pandemic as food insecurity rose. With the emergency pandemic funds disappearing, Executive Director Lisette Le worries about where future funding will come from. 📝 @GBH @NENCNewEngland https://t.co/JKVzBMRWp7

[VietAID @vietaid]

We are proud of our team for doing this and hope that this can become a normal part of the way we approach food security for all - for it to become no longer “unusual.”

[Sarah Betancourt @sweetadelinevt]

.@vietaid is doing something unusual: ensuring its clients get culturally appropriate food through its food insecurity program. Read more about what that means at @GBHNews. https://t.co/bYIgieHMcC
