LCF Georgia advances knowledge of the Latino community through publications, research, and studies. Our efforts would not be possible without our members and partners whom we partner with to collect data, develop processes and provide guidance to what we want to study.
It is our hope, these reports provide the data and information needed to champion inclusive and equitable policies and inform outreach, investments and programs across Georgia.

In 2020 the New American Economy (NAE), wanted to better understand why COVID-19 had such disproportionately severe economic and health impacts on BIPOC and immigrant communities in 5 cities.
