National Hispanic Heritage Month is a period from September 15 to October 15 to recognize the contributions and influence of Hispanic/Latinos to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States.

Although we own ourselves all 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days of the year, this month is only a reminder to be proud and celebrate our Latinidad. As we amplify our contributions to the state and nation, we also want to acknowledge the disproportionate health and economic impact that the Latino community has faced from COVID-19.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, join us to prevent homelessness, and maintain housing stability for 100 Hispanic families impacted by this pandemic.
