Alliance for Multicultural Community Services

The Multicultural Community Development Corporation is part of the Alliance for Multicultural Community Services (formerly Refugee Services Alliance), a Texas non-profit corporation, established in 1986 by representatives of Houston's Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian, and Ethiopian community organizations to serve as a mutual assistance association.

The Alliance and Multicultural CDC's mission is "to provide comprehensive services to refugees, immigrants and low-income residents of Harris County in order to enhance their cultural adjustment and self-sufficiency.  These services are delivered with linguistic and cultural competence and are designed to empower individuals, families and communities to succeed."

The primary focus of their scope of services is:

1. Refugee resettlement and transitional assistance.
2. Individual, family and community economic development services through self-sufficiency and training programs.
3. Youth and family services through family wellness and youth focused activities.
4. Health education and access to affordable health care.
5. Community empowerment through advocacy, cultural promotion and community organizing.
6. International programs to alleviate causes of population displacement.
