Project Name:	ACCESS Youth Center
Project Address:	2651 Saulino Ct., Dearborn, MI 48120
Amount Requested:	$1,000,000
Federal Department or Agency:	Department of Justice
Individual or entity requesting this appropriation:	ACCESS-Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services
Value to Michigan’s 15th Congressional District and the American taxpayer:
The center will address the needs of the growing youth population, now 30% of Dearborn’s Arab-Americans. While the proportion of youth to adults in the region has been declining since 1990, the opposite is true for Dearborn. Further, Arab-American youth in the area are an at-risk community who have an urgent need for human services since a great number of families live below the poverty level.
