Issues Forum will co-sponsor an important conference in Salinas,
addressing The Latino Community and Land Use Policy. Latino Issues

in 1987, LIF addresses public policy issues from the perspective
of how they will affect the social and economic future of the Latino
community. Latino Issues Forum will be bringing experienced community
leaders from all over California, to discuss how lessons learned
elsewhere may benefit the Latino Community in Monterey County. A
special focus of the conference will be affordable housing.
