Service Programs for Immigrants (LBR 903-02)


Faced with language and cultural barriers, and denied access to substantial public assistance programs, many low-income immigrants and their families in Hawaii struggle to maintain financial and social stability.  In particular, newly-arrived immigrants are unfamiliar with the local employment situation and lack a basic understanding of workplace requirements and expectations.  As a result, this vulnerable population often experiences significant difficulties in obtaining and maintaining employment.

This program assists those immigrants whose household is at or below 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for Hawaii, to become self-sufficient.

Service activities or milestones include:

  1. Outreach, Intake, Assessment and Individualized Service Plan
  2. Employment Preparation / Job Development
  3. Job Placement
  4. Job Support
  5. Job Maintenance
  6. Job Retention

OCS provides services to immigrants through purchase of service awards to community-based agencies statewide.
