Task Force to Discuss Needs of Hispanic Community - Memphis

“Maureen Olivarez, a bilingual homebuyer and education coordinator for United Housing Inc., can sympathize with Hispanic immigrants whove pursued a new life in Memphis.

Olivarez, who moved to Memphis from Chile almost eight years ago, knows firsthand the language barrier, the culture shock and the struggle to assimilate. Shes worked for seven months at UHI, the not-for-profit affordable housing provider, and her job keeps her connected to people in similar straits - Hispanic homebuyers trying to grab a piece of The American Dream.”
