Description
The Latino population in the United States is 56.5 million, comprising nearly 18 percent of the total U.S. population. In recent years, Latino immigrants and native-born citizens who identify as Latino have been the subjects of divisive political rhetoric and harmful policies that weaken family stability and well-being. Founded in 1990, the Hispanic Federation is one of the country’s premier Latino membership and advocacy organizations empowering the Latino community. The federation works with more than 100 grassroots nonprofits and leads programming in nineteen states and Puerto Rico, focusing specifically on low-income and immigrant communities in those areas. With Corporation support, the federation will provide critical information and legal and social services to Latino immigrants, including those seeking to adjust their status or who are beneficiaries of Temporary Protected Status and the Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals Program. The federation will also support a successful count of Latino communities across the country using culturally and linguistically competent public education and outreach around the upcoming decennial census.
