“Empowering Hispanic voters to impact politics at the local, regional and national level was the topic of a special Latino Roundtable organized by Arlington County Board member Walter Tejada at the Arlington Career Center last week. Most of the discourse was in Spanish, with a translator and headphones for those wanting to hear what went on in English.
Tejada, who moderated the meeting, began with a regional update on Arlington’s issues and initiatives, including the Day Laborer Initiative of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG). Then José Páiz, a Community and Housing officer of the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA), spoke about the importance of Hispanic outreach to supplement the economic aid and basic resources of marginalized citizens. VHDA is a state organization founded in 1972 that has, since its inception, bought, financed, and renovated approximately 140,000 residences for local residents.”
