State of Immigrants in LA County 2023 report

Today, the USC Equity Research Institute released the State of Immigrants in LA County (SOILA) 2023 report for immigrant leaders, advocates, experts, and elected officials gathered at the fourth annual Los Angeles Immigration Summit.

This year’s report captures the work of immigrant-serving institutions—alongside quantitative data on how immigrants are faring—and shares recommendations for further work directly from the field. SOILA 2023 details how Los Angeles can continue to lead on immigrant inclusion with racial equity values at the forefront by exploring nine issue areas impacting immigrant communities.

We offer recommendations to push for a new phase of immigrant inclusion that utilizes investments to their fullest capacity and pushes for more to ensure that immigrant Angelenos can achieve their potential; feel empowered to engage in civic life; and experience a sense of welcome in our region.
