By recognizing the work of the Latino Community Fund, the resolution encourages further support and collaboration among state agencies, non-profits, and community members.

Summary

House Resolution 1664 (HR1664) is a commendation for the Latino Community Fund of Georgia, recognizing its contributions to community development and support for the Latino population in the state. The resolution highlights the importance of fostering community-based organizations that provide essential resources, advocacy, and support for Latino individuals and families.
