我見 我聞 我思


老有所依

-周宏 鄭昭 孫雪蓮 來訪記



上週五休斯敦大專校友會由周宏領頭和鄭昭、孫雪蓮等人在美南新聞會議室和兩位政府聯邦房屋部前官員做了一次非常成功而且詳盡之座談,對於許多退休華裔如何得到政府之輔導得到許多珍貴之答案。


我在開㘯白中首先感謝金諾威及禮查信先生應邀出席,和華人社區領袖進行討論如何幫助更多的華人得到政府之照顧。


出席的周宏女士來美留學專攻社會學,數十年來在僑社做出巨大貢獻, 幫助了無數華人入住政府住宅 爭取各項補助,待人處事非常親切, 鄭昭和孫雪蓮也是華人社區之服務尖兵,早年來美留學並在事業上取得許多成就,之後 筹組社團不斷為大家提供服務。


應邀前來座談的金諾威先生 ,早年畢業於史坦福大學,曾任休斯敦房屋局局長, 禮查信先生曾在美國聯邦房屋部任職十九年,兩位皆是學經歷極豐富之專家。


這次之座談會,由他們說明在新任拜登政府有更多有利於幫助社區住房之各項措施, 他們希望亞華裔要多加利用。


我們極盼華亞裔社區,在老有所依之目標下,大家能未雨綢繆,互相照顧,猶如禮記篇中所說故人不獨親其親,不独子其子,使老有所終, 壯有所用, 鳏寡孤獨廢疾者皆有所養。






Care For The Elderly In Our Community


It was my great pleasure to meet with a group of our Asian community leaders led by Theresa Chow, Margaret Chang and Stanley Sun. They visited our newly opened ITC Community Resource Center at the Southern News Group building.


Along with the thousands of members of the Chinese College Alumni Association they are very much interested in finding out more information about the senior citizens housing projects in our area.


We also invited two experts in this field to join us,  including Mr. Jim Noteware. He is the former Housing Department Director for the City of Houston. Another guest was Ray Richardson who served in the federal housing department for almost twenty years.


In the meeting both of them talked about how HUD’s many program can help the local community, especially for seniors.


Ray also mentioned that the Biden Administration will have more funds available to help where needed with local housing projects.


Theresa Chow was our community leader over the past several years. She has helped many people get into housing projects and apply for federal and state funds. This is a very critical time for our community and we need more help for the elderly, not just for housing, but also other government benefits.


The ITC Community Resource Center is a service platform to help all the community people connect to different government agencies.


Many people are running very small businesses and because of the language barrier, they can’t get information directly from the government agencies and need assistance.


We really appreciate that Theresa Chow came to visit us. Her efforts really will get more help to our community.
