Our organization is established to be better able to provide support services needed to such Citizens, and to be able to offer them help and safe alternatives to their current circumstances, as well as to be able to coordinate assistance to them, from other organizations and agencies that provide different support services to qualified individuals, that request such help. More than 50% of the recipients of our services are individuals whose household income is at, or below the 150% of the Federal Poverty Level Guidelines, and who reside in the State of Arizona. Arizona Russian Center does not discriminate on the basis of: race, creed, color, religion, age, gender or national origin, of any individual, as a basis for their qualifications for assistance. The need, and type of assistance, and the availability of resources to be able to provide the same, are determined by: Arizona Russian Center. 5992 0 0 Our primary direction and purpose in this program service accomplishments is to provide Culturally Relevant Events, Program Development and Integration Plans to be better able to help interested Arizona Citizens to learn more about Russian Culture, Heritage, and History, as well as to assist those who have a Language barrier from Russian to English, and from English to Russian, as may be needed. In the past year, several separate publications and information packets have been developed and distributed, as well as numerous individual clients that had their specific issues resolved, or that have received assistance in obtaining an answer or a relevant response from a third party, for the benefit of the client. All services to qualified clients in need, are provided free of charge to the client. A very diverse range of questions from clients are regularly answered, and a broad range of issues are dealt with, that help clients chose better youth activities, schools, and other services that prevent delinquency in the diverse culture populations, that are trying to properly assimilate locally in Arizona. The above examples are illustrative of types of services are listed intended only to show the breadth of the range of services provided, but is in no way intended to be limited to the foregoing. 3974 0 0 To best explain the nature of achievements that are not measurable in a conventional way are as follows: During the past year there have been several changes in the effectiveness of this organization, Covid-19 related, and the local lock downs of public venues and events, with all of the complexities and concerns that accompany such an unforeseen situation. This was done out of consideration for the availability of personnel, resources, series availability, a large and ever growing Russian Speaking Population, that is in need of our services and programs, as well as a large and more active support base. During this same time period, we are working to improve and enlarge an already existing presence on the websites, on several forms of social media accounts, and to collect and organize vintage literature of cultural relevance to our clients and purposes. These same resources are made available for our client's use as needed, and as applicable, to be able to research and to deliver relevant and accurate information as required. 7542 0 0 Other Program Services Accomplishments Part III, Line 4d This program and services component that was developed to assist our clients as a direct result of the Covid-19 mitigation efforts for those who are elderly, speak no English, and have no access to transportation or are home-bound due to illness, or due to Covid-19 related lock-downs. Even after the restrictions were removed, these specific client's lives did not improve much, since they have no one to help them. These needed services were provided by volunteers free of charge to the recipient clients, who were in desperate need of these services, that included: Emergency Elderly Assistance, Food prep, food delivery, Medication pickup and delivery, rides to doctor's appointments, other necessary services for the disabled and elderly clients as needed, based on resource availability. Since these individuals are usually low income, and have no English proficiency, and have no friends or relatives able to help them locally or none at all, these individuals were and are unable to obtain or get assistance through or at any of the local mainstream service providers. 7542 0 0 31459 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 AZ X Guene Loshkarev 6026840294 3039 West Peoria Avenue Ste 121 Phoenix AZ 85029 X X Terri Tchernoivanov Director 10 0 X X 0 0 0 Olga Chaikheeva Gen.
