Affordable housing and homeownership issues are another focus of interest for the Council in the following biennium. As previously indicated, owning a home for Latinos is part of what we as a community see as living the America Dream. It is a symbol of prosperity and family. With the help of community organizations already at the forefront of this issue, the Council will continue to:

Promote the need for more bilingual homebuyer programs;

Report any concerns and public inquiries of housing discrimination, favoritism, or bias that targets Latino people;

Educate the state government on the barriers that Latinos face when applying for housing or homeownership;

Advocate for adequate housing for migratory farm workers and members of their families;

Advocate for safer housing options and opportunities in the metro area and greater Minnesota;

Bring awareness of the lack of homebuyer information, awareness, and preparation.
