Pacific American Community Directory
During the 2001-2002 academic

of services provided and which populations they served. Of the nearly
500 local organizations surveyed, APASS garnered 240 responses for
an outstanding return rate of 48 percent. The results of this survey
can be accessed by searching by service area. This data is available
only on organizations in Southern California (with zip codes from
89999-93000, or about San Diego to Thousand Oaks) who responded to
the survey.
