Growing Latino community finds a new “hogar’ in Sussex County in New Jersey

“They can be seen at the nearby train stations, along the bus routes in Sparta and in the small apartments above the storefronts on Spring Street in Newton; strangers in a foreign land, trying to make do in a new home called Sussex County.

For some, fear and isolation appears more clearly in their faces than the roots of Latino heritage that bond them together. But those marginalized by societal forces, including language and culture, are finding refuge at a new outreach center, the first for Sussex County’s growing Latino population.”
