Our Efforts

Fifteen years ago, Viet-AID, mobilized the Vietnamese community to plan and develop the nation’s first Vietnamese community center. The services provided in the Vietnamese Center and the projects Viet-AID has built, provide affordable housing to over 100 families and individuals annually; deliver critical child care, senior and youth services to thousands of immigrant families; build a critical customer base for over 200 neighborhood businesses; and increase civic participation and grassroots leadership development among Vietnamese immigrants.

Green and Affordable Development
To date, Viet-AID has transformed formerly vacant and brownfield sites into a community center, a community garden and five housing and mixed-use projects – all located within a 1/2 mile radius of the Fields Corner station.
