Abstract	Two perspectives shaped the consideration of immigrant occupational health in this project. First, the knowledge that the number of immigrant residents working and living in Somerville is undercounted due to issues of immigrant and legal documentation. Second, the work reported here follows the Environmental Justice model in that we hold to the premise that the environmental and occupational risks risks borne by immigrant workers are disproportionally distributed in society. Together, these perspectives led us to attempt to reach further into the immigrant community in Somerville while bringing significant resources to the immigrant service agencies with whom we partnered.
