The API Older Adults Task Force
The API Older Adults Task Force
Created by the Asian Pacific Policy & Planning Council (A3PCON) in 1986, the APIOATF is a coalition comprised of over forty (>40) community-based organizations and human services agencies which provide culturally appropriate programs and services to the Asian and Pacific Islander elderly in the Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino, Guamanian, Japanese, Korean, Lao, Samoan, Taiwanese, Thai, Tongan, and Vietnamese communities throughout Los Angeles County.
A powerful advocate for the Asian and Pacific Islander elderly community, the API Older Adults Task Force often testifies at public hearings, makes presentations at inter-agency meetings, and meets with government officials. We take every opportunity we can to call attention to the plight of the severely underserved API elderly population.
Representatives of member organizations/agencies meet regularly to develop appropriate strategies and coordinate planning, organization, and delivery of services to Asian and Pacific Islander older adults. The APIOATF is staffed by a Director, an Associate Director, an Administrative Assistant, and six to eight Title IV Senior Employment Participants. Little Tokoyo Service Center, Inc. in Los Angeles is the fiscal agent for the APIOATF. Satellite offices are located in Long Beach, and Gardena.
The Little Tokyo Service Center, a Community Development Corporation (LTSC CDC), is the fiscal agent for APIOATF.
