Features
This 2008 Annual Conference Town Hall transcript covers a host of issues including how and why subprime loans continue to disproportionately affect low-income and Latino communities, who might be responsible for the foreclosure fallout, and what recommended policies might stop the current bleeding and prevent recurrence.
This publication is not meant to provide a detailed, comprehensive analysis of complex policy issues, but rather an overview of the salient topics; further detail about the issues and NCLR’s analyses of them are available on our website (www.nclr.org) and in other publications.

- Research Report: A Burden No Child Should Bear: How the Health Coverage System is Failing Latino Children ($15)
- More than one in five (22.1%) Hispanic children is uninsured—nearly three times the rate of non-Hispanic White children (7.3%). Because health coverage has been shown to improve children’s access to timely care, the coverage gap has serious ramification for Latino children’s health and well-being. Yet Latino children and their families face structural barriers that prevent them from adequately accessing all health coverage systems in the United States. In order to ensure equitable health outcomes for Latinos and other children of color, policymakers must address these barriers and eliminate the health coverage gap.
