The growth of the Latino community – in Forsyth County and in North Carolina – has been significant over the last decade. Currently, the Latino population is estimated to represent 9.2% of the County’s total population– a number that is likely higher due to undercounting.

In response to this growth, Forsyth County funders that are members of Hispanics In  Philanthropy’s Funders Collaborative for Strong Latino Communities, initiated an assessment of the current status of services for the Latino community. This report, entitled "Forsyth County Latino Community Assesment Report," can now serve as a starting point for developing an appropriate spectrum of services to help integrate Latinos effectively in the community.
