Due to the impact of gentrification, Latinos have been faced with moving away from their established neighborhoods losing generational ties, businesses, and strong neighborhood cohesion. This forced exodus impacts Latinos' financial security and disrupts the stability and ready access to education and health services which are the elements of thriving communities .

Luis Granados, CEO of the Mission Economic Development Agency in San Francisco and Board Chair of UnidosUS, the largest civil rights organization for Latinos in the US, has been working diligently for over 20 years in response to gentrification in the San Francisco Mission District. He believes that the agency is helping to curb the tide of gentrification by becoming both a Community Development Financial Institution as well as a Housing Developer, and has grown his agency from serving hundreds to housing thousands by responding to the changing needs of the local community. Listen in to Luis's perspectives on what it will take for us to continue to protect our vibrant and historically deeply-rooted Latino communities.
