Community Profile

BPSOS-Houston is one of your oldest neighbors. We were founded in 1999 in the nation’s fourth-largest city, where one in four adults is foreign-born. The Houston metropolitan area is home to the second-largest Vietnamese population in the United States (outside of California) with over 100,000 Vietnamese living in the region.

BPSOS-Houston was established to meet your needs, whether you are a senior, a low-income person or family, a survivor of a disaster like Hurricane Ike, a survivor of violence or exploitation, or another community member we can help in some way. Our mission is to help you overcome barriers to information and services, including limited English proficiency, low literacy, low income, lack of transportation, and cultural barriers so that you can live a self-sufficient, resilient, and healthy life.
