The Spanish Speaking Elderly Council – RAICES, operates eleven direct service sites in Brooklyn and Queens. Our mission is to respond to the unmet needs of the Latino, African American, and low-income communities and seek to improve their quality of life through advocacy and the direct provision of targeted services with work across generations, particularly emphasizing the needs of older adults. As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, we continue to strive to strengthen and expand our programs and offerings to the community.
