NEW's Immigrant Asset Initative
funded by the Insight Center for Community and Economic Development
The report identifies a need to more aggressively promote the importance of asset creation and protection. Although there is no shortage of basic Spanish language financial literacy materials, there is a dearth of materials specifically addressing the more complex asset creation and protection tools (e.g. how to invest in the stock market and insurance education.) Latino immigrants are not changing their financial management habits in any significant manner. Better materials and delivery methods, such as family education, must be developed to more effectively change this population’s behavior.

The 2007 report includes a new feature: the Quality of Life Index. The index, based on 4 areas of economics, health, education, and public safety, is a 10 point scale, with a higher score indicating a higher quality of life. Some of the indicators that comprise the index include measurements of obesity, asthma, child poverty, student proficiency in math and reading, housing affordability, wages, air quality, violent crime, access to healthcare and more. With this index, policy makers, the public and the media will have a better understanding of where LA lies on key issues in comparison to the state and the nation, as well as better tools to address key problems.
