Project Description:

UMKC-IHD staff will analyze data collected by Della Lamb. Della Lamb, located in Kansas City, Missouri, provides a network of services which move children and families out of poverty and toward an improved quality of life and, ultimately, to self-sufficiency. Della Lamb serves the needs of more than 1,500 low-income or vulnerable families in northeast Kansas City, Missouri and the urban core. The goal of this evaluation is to determine the needs of Asylum-Seeker newcomers in Kansas City.
