ALEUT ELDERS TASK FORCE DONATIONS

An Aleut Elders task force was created in early 2005 as a collaborative effort by the following three organizations: Aleutian Housing Authority, Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association, Inc., and Eastern Aleutian Tribes, Inc. The purpose of the task force is to do an inventory/assessment of services, address the social behavioral, medical, and housing needs of Aleut elders within the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands and Anchorage/Mat-Su area. The task force met February 2006 and formally adopted its official name as the Unanagam Ludaa}ingin Task Force
