San Francisco has one of the most extreme socio-economic disparities of any major U.S. City, with the greatest inequities affecting people of color and immigrants. These economic disparities deeply affect Latinos living in San Francisco, who make up approximately 15% of San Francisco’s population (122,000 residents).
Collective Vision
A strong network of essential services is urgently required, which includes structural and systematic changes designed to overcome these racial inequities. We concentrate on six important subjects to address disparities and formulate solutions: Arts and Culture, Education, Health, Housing, Immigration, and Workforce.
Resiliency
Over the next five years, nonprofit leadership in San Francisco’s Latino community will undergo significant turnover. In this timeframe, ten executive directors from long-standing Latino service organization will retire.
If managed thoughtfully and with foresight, this level of leadership change presents a significant opportunity for the Latino community to bring new vision, energy, and innovative action to its needs and challenges. This can be achieved with a collective spirit that will allow the community to flourish and thrive well into the future. Conversely, if the leadership transition is allowed to take place without vision and strategic planning, the community may be highly vulnerable to potentially long-lasting disruptions in a range of bedrock services – from mental health to economic empowerment.
Connecting Points/Common Struggles
Obstacles include language barriers, low incomes, higher than average unemployment, health inequities, disproportionate representation within the criminal justice system, fragile immigration status, insufficient legal representation, food and housing insecurity, increased homelessness, and low educational achievement due to a widening opportunity gap. It is evident that these obstacles, which are based on both current and historical policies, have manifested as racial inequities in economic opportunity, mobility and advancement for our Latino population.
