The Diverse Community Served By EHP

9/2/2013

EHP serves low income families and individuals. If clients are fortunate enough to have housing, they are now often in jeopardy of losing it. Many of the families EHP serves are faced with the terrible dilemma of having to choose between having a roof over their heads or food on the table. A warm jacket and school supplies are often luxuries EHP’s clients simply cannot afford. Although EHP’s priority is serving families, seniors, the disabled, and some individuals also receive services. The composition of EHP’s client base by ethnicity is:

  • 55% Hispanic
  • 20% African American
  • 15% Pacific Islander
  • 5% Caucasion
  • 5% Other Nationalities

The Federal poverty standard is $27,910/year for a family of 5. That family would be living on income of about $41,865 a year at 150% of the Federal poverty standard. The Second Harvest cite is to the fact that there are over 70,000 residents living at or below 150% of the applicable Federal poverty level.
