Background:

A PERSON new to USA is faced with various stimuli to make decisions. Universal Mission Foundation LLC comes in to provide information that improves on informed decisions as one takes the paths for solid integration in USA. Many new comers in USA come to: join spouses, Education opportunities, Livelihood opportunities, employment, entertainment industry, and social-political refugee. Presently, the US Visa Lottery, economic reasons, education and asylum seeking make up the top-most reasons. From anecdotal to researched papers there are contexts within which frequently expressed needs arise. They have been condensed in ten themes. In order to work within the USA Policy, Universal Mission Foundation LLC will draw on the themes below:

a) Public Accommodations (Title II, 1964 Civil Rights Act). We hope to link to services in the area of access to literacy, numeracy and computer technologies, schools, legal, mobility and language, sports, restaurants, hotels, theatres and public places.

b) Public Facilities (Title III, 1964 Civil Rights Act). We are interested in ensuring access to conflict resolution mechanisms, weatherization facilities, seminars, conferences, workshops, camps, courthouses, jails, hospitals, parks and recreation centers.

c) Federally-funded Programs (Title VI, 1964 Civil Rights Act) through this it will be of interest to explore how those who seek our services are able to access welfare services, adoption, police, insurance services, schools, homelessness/youth-services and health-care.

d) Employment ( Title VII, 1964 Civil Rights Act; 1978 Civil Service Reform Act; 1991 Government Employee Rights Act; 1995 Congressional Accountability Act; 10 U.S.C. Ch. 37).The possibility to access civilian, military, government, private sector and homeland/ immigration services will be a crucial counselling and guidance support sessions. Proper documentation will be key in enabling one enjoy living in USA peacefully and happily.

e) Housing and livelihood in USA (Title VIII, 1968 Civil Rights Act also known as the ‘fair housing’ Act). Access to decent living is crucial in USA and anywhere in the world. This lies on one’s ability to access money for rent. There are those who are at an indeterminate phase and rely on public assistance. UNIVERSAL MISSION FOUNDATION will provide opportunities to access information linking them to welcoming homes, developing creditable skills, access pecuniary/fiduciary opportunities, access to financial services, opportunities for making purchases, good accountability procedures and financial literacy.

f) Education (Title IX, 1972 Education Amendments Act).Access to any form of education at different levels is a good preparation and improves ones skills in understanding one’s real-time context, social issues, tolerance, aspirations and identifying abuses, likely conflicts and problem-solving.

g) Credit (1974 Equal Credit Opportunity Act). We shall explore means to accessing opportunities, trainings, seminars, exhibitions, fares, funds and loans as a boost to life and businesses for those who access our services.

h) Marriage Equality Issues based on Gender, Sex, race and other identities (US Supreme Court Decisions). Formalization of relations is important and needs to be regularized in order for members to live happily in USA and access various services. We hope to link our beneficiaries to organizations supporting this land-mark milestone in life.

i) Immigration, Responsible Conduct, Positive Parenting, Disability and Family Leave (Uniting American Families Act (proposed), the American with Disabilities Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act). A well person is the goal of many societies as well as for UNIVERSAL MISSION FOUNDATION. We shall work in synergy with facilities empowering beneficiaries with legal stay in USA.

j) Tolerance watch and a neighborly attitude building, we shall engage our beneficiaries in life-planning skills, conflict resolution and problem-solving skills. We shall use this opportunity to hold dialogues on any form of attacks, abuses of/in any form and working with the US Gov in ensuring co-existence and peace in the world.

CORE STATEMENT:

A wasted mind is a wasted person.

PROBLEM STATEMENT:

As someone at the threshold of being documented legally in USA, you may face internal disorientation, dissonance and disconnected. There is a feeling of loss, isolation and loneliness having left a familiar environment. You face panic attacks, misdirection and fear. But the good part is that you have in you the potential to integrate in USA seamlessly and productively.

SOLUTION:

Our solution is based on simple principles of organization, mobilization and trainings (OMT). We are organized as a knowledge management facility and through our services hope to empower you to make informed decisions as you integrate.

HOW WE SHALL DO THIS:

We are using a five pronged approach: Establish an organisation of well-wishing duty-bearers in Massachusetts (Organization). Engage all stakeholders and well-wisher organisations to address needs arising (Linkage). Engage in awareness raising on; self reliance, work, social integration, family, Human Rights, Health and Development; host cultural galas; in at social exhibition, Universities and institutions of learning by use of the Campus fraternities/Sororities/School clubs to encourage awareness and support; use faith and non-faith-based/structures/NPOs to encourage psycho-social-spiritual enrichment and community activities; Work with MA leadership structures to increase synergies, good-will and linkages in systems that promote quality livelihoods.

Establish Universal Mission Foundation LLC as a leader in handling intermediate (or indeterminate) phase integration (IPI) before even one gets into a probationary phase which is behind right to permanent stay. This will be a model for structures and provide a schedule featuring our mainstay pillars on: awareness; self-reliance; collaboration; health and; family strengthening. Under the pillar of awareness is the promotion of knowledge and sensitivity of new Americans’ needs calibrated against the bedrock of the American dream. The self reliance pillar promotes individual skills development for a best-fit (tuning in) in an American society. The collaboration pillar calls for partnership and working through leadership structures of Massachusetts (MA) to share experiences and navigate systems of quality livelihoods. The health pillar calls for investing in positive living. The family strengthening calls for quality livelihoods, hygiene, reception at homes and care systems that continue to promote quality lives.
