En Español: The State of Latino Housing, Transportation, and Green Space

Share On Social!

Check out these new Spanish-language research materials on the alarming state of Latino housing, transportation, and green space from our team at Salud America! UT Health San Antonio.

The new Spanish materials are based on an English research review earlier in 2019.

The research found that, sadly, U.S. Latino communities face unaffordable housing, unreliable public transportation, and a lack of green space and parks. This limits Latinos’ access to health-promoting assets─medical care, good schools, healthy food, and physical activity. This also contributes to health inequities.

Fortunately, community leaders can adopt dynamic land-use methods, public-private partnerships, and community involvement to build and revitalize Latino neighborhoods. This can create affordable housing, connection to public transportation, and more green spaces.

The result is health equity─a fair, just opportunity to achieve the best health possible.

“We want people to share these materials with friends, family, and decision-makers to increase awareness of these key Latino health issues and drive healthy changes in their schools and communities,” said Dr. Amelie G.
