As the workers integrated into the community, they were able to send for their families, thus growing the local Latino population and presenting new needs within the Latino community. Women found themselves feeling isolated at home. With these shifting needs, La Paz’s focus also evolved to build trusted connections with our growing community to provide guidance, services and advocacy. In addition, to address the young Latino population in the Chattanooga area, we began to prioritize our focus to our first-generation community who are just now experiencing higher education. To do this, we focus on service that promote student and entrepreneurial success.
