*Celebrating Asian Pacific American Heritage Month **Community Resiliency
and Health Promotion for Asian American Seniors*
Friday, May 21, 2021 from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm
Rockville Memorial Library Virtual Branch
*Free* event for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Chinatown

Home: A conversation with Wah Luck House residents about preserving
community connections, affordable housing, health and aging, and combating
anti-Asian racism during the global pandemic.  Amid neighborhood
gentrification, D.C.’s Wah Luck House has remained an affordable home and
community anchor for generations of Chinatown residents, with ties
throughout Montgomery County and the Greater Washington area.  Join us for
a wide-ranging discussion about the intersection of health and housing amid
the challenges of a global pandemic and rising anti-Asian sentiment and
violence. Panelists will include Wah Luck House residents and
representatives from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (from
both the Office of Minority Health and the Administration for Community
Living), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and local
agencies supporting aging and Asian communities in DC and Montgomery County.
