Greater Austin Vietnamese Network Presents “ A 9000-mile Dream” Austin Vietnamese Cultural Community Center Luan Tran, Gerontologist Founder of Greater Austin Vietnamese Network (GAVN) CEO of Austin Vietnamese American Medical Professional (AVAMPS) Vice-President of Austin Vietnamese Senior Citizens (AVSC) Luanntran@yahoo.com 512-496-3285 October 9, 2024 Austin, TX Good afternoon Commission on Aging, THANK YOU for allowing me to share with you our story today. Just for today, I would like to speak on behalf of 102 Vietnamese seniors who have sent me here to share with you their lived experiences. They are members of the Austin Vietnamese Senior Citizens which is a non-profit organization established 36 years ago. How does AVSC impact the quality of life for Vietnamese seniors? The Austin Vietnamese Senior Citizens provides an essential and consistent source of social, cognitive, emotional, physical, and nutritional enrichment for the Vietnamese seniors of Austin. AVSC has touched the lives of hundreds of past members over a 36-year span. The senior center has continued to create a culturally based, safe, and fun environment for its current members. Additionally, it has also facilitated meaningful life-long friendships and support networks within the Vietnamese community. For many seniors, this center is the only place of socialization with a free hot Vietnamese meal. Moreover, for over three decades, AVSC has continued to be a vital part of life- “beating heart” for the Vietnamese seniors. To date, AVCS has outgrown their space and although we have adapted over 36 years in the same space, it has become an inefficient and unsafe environment. The internal small space of 1,000 SQ space is outdated and is not ADA compliant without a ramp or elevator. When more than 60 members congregate, it is standing room only. Externally there is no dedicated Handicap parking spaces or enough parking spaces for 30 cars. As the aging Vietnamese population continues to increase in the greater Austin area, the seniors will need a larger space with ADA considerations and ample parking spaces to congregate on a weekly basis. In summary, AVCS desperately and passionately wants to expand to meet the growing needs of the aging community of Austin with more culturally based programs, services, and ultimately preserving and passing on our heritage. Unfortunately, we do not have the infrastructure to expand and grow.
