Latino Coalition for a Healthy California

Today the Latino Coalition for a Healthy California, in partnership with The Children’s Partnership and Nourish California, released a policy brief analyzing the drivers, consequences, and impacts of food insecurity for Latinxs in California. The brief has an emphasis on the impacts of food insecurity on Latinx children and discusses the unique barriers to food access for undocumented Latinxs in California. Furthermore, it offers bold and feasible solutions that legislators and elected leaders can take now to address this issue for California’s largest ethnic population.

Californian Latinx individuals and families come from a wide variety of backgrounds, making us extremely

diverse. Yet food insecurity is a pervasive issue among Latinx communities in California. In order to lead healthy and thriving lives, sufficient nourishment is an absolute necessity. “Securing Food, Securing Our Health: The Impact of Food Insecurity on Latinx Children & Families” analyzes the complex political and economic landscape that Latinxs in California face to access state and national nutritional assistance programs.

Download our full Latinx nutrition policy brief here.

The brief touches on the impacts and consequences of food insecurity on Latinx children, the unique barriers immigrants face to attain sufficient food, as well as the economic and cultural challenges to access nutritional assistance programs.

The brief also offers bold and feasible solutions that are available to Californians right now. As the Governor’s May Revision informed us last week, California has another year of surplus financial resources. Today solutions like Food4All and community-based outreach and enrollment models like Community Health Workers/Promotoras are capable of fighting food insecurity among Latinx in California and are more than within reach.

Read more about Latinx food insecurity by accessing our full policy brief here.

This policy brief was developed in collaboration with our partners at Nourish California and The Children’s Partnership.

For questions or comments regarding our Latinx nutrition policy brief contact Policy Sr. Manager Mar Velez at mvelez@lchc.org.
