IRAQ Visitors

AMHA welcomed Iraq delegates in early November as participants of the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) sponsored by the U.S Department of State.  The IVLP is designed to build mutual understanding between the U.S. and other countries through carefully designed visits that reflect the participants' professional interest and support U.S. foreign policy goals.  The arrangements were made through Global Ties Akron, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that links local and international communities by building networks and friendships to promote understanding and world harmony.  The delegates learned about housing options AMHA provides for low-income individuals and those with disabilities, as well as how AMHA invest in community partnerships and creates opportunities for self-sufficiency and better quality of life.
