make a gift to our capital campaign

Please consider supporting our Capital Campaign. Your support will enable Casa Nueva Vida to expand our mission: “to help our residents gain the education and skills that they need to permanently pull themselves out of poverty, as well as to reach out to the community with a number of educational and supportive services that prevent homelessness and help to break the chain of poverty in our communities” to the Lawrence community.
 

The City of Lawrence has a population of 72,000, of which 59.7% (approximately 43,000) are of Latino descent, mainly from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. According to the U.S. census, the Latino population in Lawrence grew by 300% from 1980 to 1990. Lawrence has experienced unprecedented growth in its Latino population over the past twenty years. The 2000 U.S. Census also reported that Latino immigrants from Spanish speaking Caribbean countries alone increased by about 13,782 in just ten years. This growth in Latino numbers should be viewed as an asset and economic opportunity for the City. Household spending, for example, will continue to increase as the Latino community grows and accesses economic opportunities, translating into neighborhood investments.
