NEW Wants You to be Counted!
Quick Facts about The 2010 Census


The 2010 Census aims to count all U.S. residents—citizens and non-citizens alike.
Participation in the census is not dependent on your visa or residency status.
The census does not ask about your status - your information is protected.
You will receive a census questionnaire and a prepaid return envelope in the mail.
The questionnaire will ask you 10 questions.
You should complete the questionnaire - count everyone who living at your home as of April 1, 2010 and mail it back.
If you fill out the form and mail it back, no census taker will need to visit you.
Most people mail back their form.

Funding Our Work

Jenni Rivera Donates $10,000
to La Posada


Jenni Rivera Donates $10,000 to La Posada - Click to Enlarge This holiday season, excitement ran high at La Posada when Jenni Rivera, called the queen of banda music, paid a personal visit to the residence. After touring the affordable housing program for single mothers and their children run by New Economics for Women, Jenni donated $10,000 and pledged her ongoing support.

Jenni, who was born and raised in Long Beach, California, has become a favorite Spanish language singer for strong independent women. She spoke from the heart about her first hand experience as a single mother and encouraged the young women of La Posada to study, work hard and become as successful in their chosen fields as she has become in music.

Neighborhood Stabilization

NEW is part of a national consortium of non-profit affordable housing developers called the National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders (NALCAB). The consortium submitted an application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). The purpose of the NSP is to stabilize neighborhoods damaged by the economic effects of foreclosed upon, abandoned, blighted and vacant properties. Get more information on NEW’s Proposed Neighborhood Stabilization Program Activities at the Chicanos Por La Causa website: www.cplc.org/nsp2 .

Proyecto Adelante
NEW completed Proyecto Adelante with funding from the Ford Foundation
With a grant from the Ford Foundation, in May 2009 NEW completed Proyecto Adelante. The goal of the pilot program was to educate Latino families about asset protection and development and provide policy recommendations on enhancing the field of asset development. Twenty-seven families participated in the intensive program which was conducted over a seven-month period. The resulting Ethnography and White Paper are available here for download.
