INTRODUCTION We are pleased to present the 2019 Update to our Long Beach Latino Economic Report, a collaboration between Centro CHA, California State University, Long Beach, and the City of Long Beach.

Our initial, 2018 report and summary served as a first step to: 1) Share in community settings, 2) Spark conversations around key policy consider-

for updates, on-going work, further develop-

future research and decision-making in these areas.

In October of 2018, a policy round table was convened with key Long Beach systems leaders

to provide initial input on the first iteration of the 2018 Report. This sparked the first of many conversations around key policy considerations and implications stemming from the report. In November 2018, the first version of the Long Beach Latino Economic Report was presented at the inaugural Long Beach Latino Economic Summit at the Long Beach Convention Center.

With over 200 community stakeholders and systems leaders in attendance, a series of facili-tated, impassioned large and small group discus-sions focused on the content and data presented and led to several key recommendations.

The broad recommendations from the stakeholders in attendance included, but were not limited to:

Updating the report every year with current and new data

Making the data more accessible for all segments of the population

Presenting the data in different community settings and among different community groups

Aligning our efforts with other local and regional efforts like the city’s Economic Development Blueprint and its Everyone In initiative, to name a few, as well as with state level policies and legislative efforts

Connecting local efforts and recommenda-tions to state level actions and policies

LONG BEACH LATINO ECONOMIC REPORT 2019 | 3

Our 2019 Update reflects some of those recom-mendations. Additionally, based on the large and small group discussions at the Summit, four broad policy areas emerged to help guide future discussions about the data and inform potential next steps regarding the report and future presentations. Those areas also help to frame the

content of our 2019 Update. Finally, the policy areas and implications based on the findings anddiscussions from our report will serve as a vehicle for further developing a Long Beach Latinx policy agenda.

The four policy areas that emerged were:

ELIMINATING HEALTH DISPARITIES:Addressing Latinx health inequities in Long Beach

IMMIGRANT INTEGRATION: Addressing immigrant rights and support for Latinx immigrant populations in Long Beach

ECONOMIC INCLUSION: Addressing Latinx poverty and prosperity in Long Beach1CLOSING OPPORTUNITY GAPS IN EDUCATION:Addressing Latinx educational opportunities in Long Beach2

Campus community partnership develop-ment and leveraging institutional resources

Multi stakeholder, community engagement strategies for planning, development, and dissemination

Focusing on key, community identified issues and needs

Examining the data through policy lenses and systems frameworks

Presenting annual snapshots and updates with plans to produce ongoing, future iterations

Our 2019 Update thus continues to serve as a vehicle to better understand, analyze, and address key economic, health, and educational issues affecting Latinos in Long Beach. Our approach emphasizes:
