Mission
Latino Urban Forum (LUF) is dedicated to improving the quality of life and sustainability of Latino communities in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. LUF partners with communities through public education and dialogue, the provision of technical assistance and capacity building, and advocacy on such critical urban issues as planning, land use and the environment and their effects on health and culture.

Vision
Urban policy and the built environment in Los Angeles communities reflect local cultures, visions, needs and values which in turn, contribute to strengthening a sense of place and history. Latino communities meaningfully participate in planning and land use decision-making for healthy, safe and equitable built environments that provide pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods, parks and open space, affordable housing, economic vitality, and strong social and educational infrastructure.
