U.S., Mexican officials launch outreach campaigns

“Estimating not even 50 percent of Mexicans in the United States who are eligible for Department of Agriculture programs take advantage of them, U.S. and Mexican officials pledged Tuesday to make Hispanics more aware of programs available to them.

The purpose of their meeting, which included Mexican consuls from Salt Lake City to Orlando, was to find ways to implement recent agreements between Mexico’s Foreign Ministry and USDA officials on Hispanic access to nutrition programs as well as housing and business loans.”
