NJ Puerto Rican Congress (PRC) senses a strong urge to address and seek resolution on specific issues that negatively impact on Puerto Rican/Hispanics. These problem areas mainly affect the low income Hispanics for whom the PRC has advocated for the past 45 years.
The Vigorous growth of Puerto Rican/Hispanics and its youthful composition, coupled with continued socioeconomic disadvantages, are causes for alarm to state and national leaders. Puerto Rican/Hispanics face disparity with other American in such important areas as health care, education, labor, social services, childcare, and economic development.
Objectives: •Promote the benefits of a solid educational background and a learning system, which encourages academic success and achievements among Puerto Rican/Hispanics. •To improve the labor marketability, employment opportunities and work conditions of Puerto Rican/Hispanics. •Improve the accessibility, availability, and affordability of health care to Puerto Rican/Hispanics and other low-income persons.
