Los Tainos Senior Citizens Center MissionLos Tainos' mission is to provide broad based services to low income senior citizens to improve their quality of life. Los Tainos is dedicated to preserving those traditional Hispanic values that strengthen community life: respeto (respect), love of community, group cooperation, friendliness, cultural pride in one's own culture, cross-cultural respect, the family, viewing children as the community's future, the home, responsibility to neighbors, love of Hispanic folkart and cuisine.Los Tainos was formerly housed from 1991-1997 on the second floor of the Father Belle Community Center, 104 Maryland, located in the heart of the Hispanic community. In the summer of 1997, Los Tainos moved the organization to the ground floor of La Casa de Los Tainos, a newly constructed low income senior citizen apartment building jointly sponsored with the Buffalo Catholic Diocese. Los Tainos and the Diocese were awared a $3.6 million Section 202 grant from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development to develop the project. |
