The Proposed Fiscal Year 2012 Budget by the State Administration continues to underfund programs for indigent Hispanics.

We, the undersigned, call on the New Jersey State Legislature to completely restore the funding for the Center for Hispanic Policy, Research & Development; completely restore the funding for the Hispanic Women’s Resource Centers at the Department of Community Affairs; completely restore the funding for Hispanic Outreach by the Department of Human Services; and completely restore the funding for Hispanic Front-Line programs by the Department of Children & Families to Fiscal Year 2010 levels.
