Chinese has created a organization nationwide to help new-comer settle down in US. Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association(CCBA) has helped new immigrants build up their business. CCBA gives out loans and protects new-comer from discrimination. They even have their own tax system in order to keep on helping chinese in early ages.
There is a obviously high concentration of temples and religious organizations in the chinatown neighborhood, compared to the distribution of churches on mahattan, supporting the religious need of chinese society.
there is also a severe lack of burial land in mahattan. most funeral homes and cemertery office in mahattan can only be the location for ceremony. corpses are sent to almost Bronx, other boroughs or even states for burial.
day-care and senior center and elemetary school around in the neighborhood showing elder and youth activity networks ajacent to my site.
