Latinos: Overrepresented in Covid Cases, Underrepresented in Relief

Abstract

This testimony provides background on the persistent effects of historical, systemic, and structural bias in our housing and financial services systems, and how this has contributed to a disproportionate impact on the Latino community in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also provides recommendations to consider for future pandemic relief legislation that fully and equitably responds to the most vulnerable families and communities in our nation.
