The 5th Annual State of Immigrants in Los Angeles (SOILA) County report is now available! The report authored by USC Equity Research Institute uplifts remarkable strides made across Los Angeles County to advance immigrant inclusion by highlighting the realities that immigrants experience in our county through rigorously produced data analysis and providing local leadership with enough direction to make tangible and meaningful change. Unlike previous years’ SOILA reports, we used a publicly available online survey to ask immigrant communities themselves how they are feeling and faring in the county. We used that data to understand the perspectives of immigrants and their descendants and to build our recommendations for this momentous year. We invite you to download the report here: https://bit.ly/3LmOyLS
