“An Iowa State University-Extension research project on low-income immigrant Hispanic women living in Buena Vista County shows they live on the edge and are not aware of lifelines in the broader society to aid their families, whether it be in the form of government programs or social agencies.

ISU professors Christine Cook and Kim Greder described the project, in which 15 women at well under poverty level and with children under age 12 have extensively spoken over two years with researchers about their lives. The research focus in the 15-state project is on whether the low-income rural newcomers have adequate food and housing as they adapt to their new home.”
