The deadline to submit this survey is February 7, 2022 at 11:59 PM.

Launched in Fall 2020, Maryland Latinos Unidos (MLU) is a statewide association of Latinx nonprofits, community organizations, and business leaders housed within the nonprofit association Maryland Nonprofits.

MLU was launched with two primary objectives. Most immediately, MLU is working to meet urgent needs in the Latinx community related to the COVID-19 pandemic and combat the disproportionate impact the pandemic has had on communities of color. Long term, MLU is working to build an equitable infrastructure to address the many disparities and barriers faced by Latinos in Maryland through advocacy, community engagement, and capacity-building.

Our focus is not only on community health, but also housing, education, employment, and other environmental factors that impact Latinos’ well-being. MLU’s mission is to build the capacity of grassroots Latino-serving organizations, call attention to disparities and inequities faced by Latino and immigrant communities and address these problems with coordinated action to ensure that all Latinos are able to access necessary services.

We are soliciting feedback in order to better inform MLU policy priorities in 2022 about education, health, and quality of life on behalf of Latinos in Maryland. The information gathered from this survey will also be used to explore community partnerships with established Latino leaders and nonprofits to advance Latino wellness across the state.

The survey has the following goals:

1) Generally, to understand how Latino community values and uses its economic, social, and natural resources;

2) To gather information from Latino communities in Maryland about how they work, live, and recreate;

3) Explore Latino community interest in participating in public engagement to discuss how issues impacting our lives as Latinos in Maryland connect and how MLU can better serve the community;

4) Increase awareness about Maryland Latinos Unidos’ (MLU) proposed advocacy on overall community health and well-being;

5) Lastly, to understand what the Latino community needs and wants in terms of capacity-building and organizational development.
