APA Community Accomplishes Another Successful Year of Healthy Eating and Active Living >>>
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Dear Friends:
I
n 2014, APA HEALIN’ continues its work to address the disparities of the Asian Pacific American community in the areas of food systems, healthy eating, active living, and the built environment. In partnership with EmblemHealth, ChineseAmerican Planning Council, and University SettlementHouston Street Center, APA residents in NYC took small steps to be healthier through free fitness classes, cooking/ nutrition demonstrations, and health education workshops. Collaborating with Asian Pacific Partners for Empowerment, Advocacy, and Leadership (APPEAL), we kicked off July with “Good Eats, Safe Streets,” a month-long healthy eating and active living campaign highlighting the various work of APPEAL partners throughout the US and the Pacific Islands. As part of “Good Eats, Safe Streets,” we explored Jackson Heights with a walk audit, led by Mark Fenton, a CDC expert on healthy, walkable communities. Kalusugan Coalition celebrated its second year in organizing and running Queens Pop-Up Play Space, turning the city’s public areas into safe, engaging space to be physically active. This past fall, Lunch 4 Learning advocates celebrated a tremendous victory with the implementation of universal school lunch in NYC public, middle schools. Now, any middle school student, regardless of income status, is eligible for free school lunch.
We had a great 2014, and have exciting plans for 2015! CACF continues to be a leader on behalf of children and families as you will read throughout this issue of Progress. We are very grateful for the support we received at our Annual Caring for Children Awards Gala, and are grateful for our many partnerships with community leaders, advocates, and our many members. We have a strong voice when we work together for change and progress.

Last year, we built new partnerships and launched a new initiative with the Communities of Color Platform, the Non-Profit Stabilization Fund, a fund created with New York City Council support to build the capacity of grassroots organizations that are on the front lines, working hard to ensure our communities have access to services and resources. We are also very proud of the work of Project CHARGE and our In-Person Assistors (IPA)/ Navigators who have helped to enroll over 3,000 people in the marketplace to get quality, affordable health care. We are also excited to have our ASAP and POWER cohorts meet again this year to ensure that youth and parents feel empowered and confident in school and at home.

I want to thank Jessica Lee, who served as CACF’s Interim Executive Director in 2014, and say how proud I am to lead such a strong and vibrant organization. In the coming year, I look forward to expanding CACF’s role in capacity building for our members and for the APA community; conducting successful advocacy campaigns that increases language accessibility and culturally competent translations; fighting for legislation on data disaggregation so that ALL APAs are accounted in our City and State data tracking systems to ensure adequate funding and services for our communities; advocating for contracts reform so that more of our APA led groups can compete for City and State contracts; and expanding our public health work with chronic disease education campaigns around diabetes and salt reduction. With this aggressive policy agenda, we are sure to improve the lives of Asian Pacific American children and families.

Asian Pacific Americans Healthy Eating and Active Living In our Neighborhoods (APA HEALIN’) is a collaborative with the goal of addressing food systems, healthy eating, active living, and built environment disparities and inequities in APA communities in New York City.
For 2015, we’re keeping an eye on legislations regarding SNAP (formerly food stamps), sugar-sweetened beverages, and nutrition standards in meals of children and youth. A few initiatives in the pipeline include using geographic information system (GIS) mapping to assess street safety and active living in various neighborhoods; creating further awareness about sodium consumption in the APA community; and expanding universal school lunch to include other grade levels. For more information, please contact Ryan Natividad at rnatividad@cacf.org.
We look forward to working with you to make 2015 a year of successes!

Fighting for a Fair Budget for the Asian Pacific American Community >>> The 15% and Growing Coalition, co-led by the Coalition for Asian American Children & Families and the MinKwon Center for Community Action, unites over 45 Asian led or serving organizations in the City to fight for a fair budget that protects the most vulnerable APA New Yorkers including children and youth, women, seniors, immigrants and low-income families. In February 2014, members of the 15% and Growing Coalition held the 6th Annual Asian Pacific American Advocacy Day holding a press conference and rally on funding equity in discretionary funding as well as larger social service contract reform. When the budget was finalized at the end of June, we were thrilled to see that Asian led community based organizations received over $1.5 million in discretionary funds, showing a 19.5% growth over FY 2014 and a 110% growth since FY 2011. Please join us for our 7th Annual Asian Pacific American Advocacy Day on March 5th! For more information, please contact Marissa Martin at mmartin@cacf.org.
The 15% and Growing Coalition is comprised of over 45 Asian led and serving organizations in New York City aiming for the State and City governments to have fair budgets that protect the most vulnerable Asian Pacific American New Yorkers. Coalition members employ thousands of New Yorkers and serve hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. We are happy to announce that the Asian Pacific American community continues to grow and we have updated our coalition name to the 15% and Growing Coalition so we continue to align with our growing population.

Youth Leaders Fight to Reform Guidance >>> CACF’s youth leadership program Asian American Student Advocacy Project (ASAP) continues to fight for their campaign to reform guidance for NYC public school students. Their campaign entitled Campaign Bridge asks for standardized job descriptions for all guidance as well as comprehensive roadmaps for students. Earlier in February 2014, ASAP held an advocacy day urging City Council education members to hold an oversight hearing on Guidance in NYC public schools, and this hearing was secured in September. This hearing led to the passing of a new Guidance Bill to mandate the reporting on guidance workload and meetings for each high school. ASAP would like to thank all of our community partners who have come out and supported Campaign Bridge. Now that the issues of guidance are more prominent, ASAP will continue to push for their recommendations to the Department of Education. For more information on ASAP or Campaign Bridge, please contact ASAP is a leadership program Mitchel Wu at mwu@cacf.org. for Asian Pacific American high

CACF Launches Parent Leadership Program >>> CACF is excited to be partnering with the High School of Language and Diplomacy to be launching our parent leadership and engagement program Parents Organized to Work for Equal Rights (POWER). We hosted a successful recruitment workshop for Asian parents on Wednesday, December 17, 2014 at the High School located at the Washington Irving campus. Recent immigrant parents are encouraged to apply. For more information, please contact Mitchel Wu at mwu@cacf.org.
Child Welfare Advocacy Updates >>>
CACF is working with our members and the Administration for Children’s Services to improve child welfare polices and services for Asian Pacific American (APA) communities. We are planning to conduct research on child welfare issues and policy changes impacting APA and new immigrant communities. CACF staff will also coordinate advocacy campaigns to improve data collection and reporting in regards to APAs in ACS, preventive, and foster care services, include provisions in City contracts that mandate cultural competent, linguistically accessible services, and improve the recruitment of APA foster homes and families. For more information, please contact Sarah Fajardo at sfajardo@cacf.org.
CACF Continues to Fight for Legislation on Disaggragated Data >>> The momentum for disaggregated data has been building in recent years. Coupled with the recognition of fast growth rates of the APA community in New York and national efforts to create standards for the collection of demographic data, the Invisible No More campaign was launched in 2012. CACF has worked with City and State elected officials to introduce legislation on data disaggregation for the APA community. To date, we have received sign-ons and support from over 100 organizations locally and nationally for our data bills. Last year, in the State legislature, the Assembly bill (A1186b) passed but unfortunately the Senate version (S2348b) was not taken for a vote. We will continue to push for this in the 2015 Legislative Session and head up to Albany early in the year. The City bill (Intro 251) currently has 35 sponsors and we are looking forward to a hearing this year in the Government Operations committee. We look forward to continuing working with our partners for disaggregated data. To get involved in the Invisible No More campaign, please contact Marissa Martin at mmartin@cacf.org.

CACF Expands Health Care and Language Access for Thousands >>>
W
In 2013, CACF was selected among 50 organizations by the New York State Department of Health to receive the In-Person Assistor (IPA)/Navigator grant. CACF works with 9 Asianserving organizations to provide health insurance enrollment assistance to uninsured Asian Pacific Americans and small businesses.
ith the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, everyone has been asking, “What does this mean for me?” This question becomes even more pressing for the Asian Pacific American community, the State’s fastest growing racial group where prior to the ACA, 1 out of 5 of the community was uninsured. CACF recognizes the tremendous gains that New York State has seen with the full implementation of the Affordable Care Act. As of September 30, 2014, 1.6 million New Yorkers have enrolled in coverage through the New York State Health (NYSOH) marketplace. In an NYSOH enrollment report released in July 2014, it showed that 15% of all enrollees, or about 134,500 people, identified as Asian. CACF along with our navigator network of 9 partners played an integral role in these efforts. During the last open enrollment period in 2014, our network of 21 navigators speaking 15 languages provided assistance to over 12,000 individuals to help them determine their health insurance options and successfully enrolled nearly 3,000. Additionally, Project CHARGE was successful in advocating for the Project CHARGE (Coalition for New York State Department of Health to expand the number of translated health education documents Health Access to Reach Greater for the state marketplace. This is one of many important steps to expand language access to thousands Equity) is CACF’s 16-member of limited English proficient health consumers. There are now documents in 17 languages including 8 pan-Asian health advocacy Asian languages (Bengali, Simplified Chinese, Hindi, Korean, Nepali, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Urdu) collaborative. as well as Arabic. Although open enrollment has ended, eligible individuals and families may apply for health insurance coverage if they qualify for special enrollment for the following life events that involve a change in family status (marriage, birth/adoption of a child) or loss of other health coverage. Those that are eligible for Medicaid or Child Health Plus as well as small businesses are able to apply year round. To get connected to a certified in-person assistor/navigator, please contact Noilyn Abesamis-Mendoza at namendoza@cacf.org.
CACF Supports First Generation Initiative >>> CACF will continue to advocate for improved resources and support for first generation students’ college and career preparedness this year. We will lobby the New York City Department of Education to support the policy priorities of CACF’s First Generation Initiative, ensuring that the educational inequities experienced by first generation Asian Pacific American youth and children of first generation parents are addressed. Many colleges are developing retention plans targeting the needs of first generation students, and addressing some of these needs early on in our K-12 public education system can better prepare our students for college and careers. The Initiative will ensure that current Department of Education’s plans to improve students’ academic progress are also meeting the needs of first generation public school students, and will implement best practices to address the specific needs of these students. For more information, please contact Sarah Fajardo at sfajardo@cacf.org.
