Marla has mastered community engagement and policy advocacy in
Latino communities. It starts with providing families with the
highest level of support for starting businesses, buying homes,
challenging and winning repairs to unsound rental housing
conditions. LEDC’s success, she says, is a result of a committed
staff, who “change people’s lives.” As a result, elected officials
look to LEDC to inform their policymaking. And LEDC's
advocacy at the national level has become a necessity, given its
deep connections to the immigrant community and their peril in the
current political climate. In the past, Marla explains, our
advocacy was about the technical areas of small business and
housing programs. Now we have different battles to fight. Find
out about LEDC’s upcoming event!
