Research and Best Practices: Outreach to Latinx and Spanish-Speaking Communities Throughout the U.S.

This short memo identifies best practices, lessons learned, and potential outreach and engagement strategies employed by utility water use efficiency programs conducting outreach to Latinx and Spanish-speaking communities.

A note on language: This report uses the term Latinx when discussing Latin American or Hispanic identifying community members, to be inclusive of all genders, with the understanding that this label may not best fit all community members in this group. An exception to this is in the use of Census data, with the terms “Hispanic / Latin American by race” or “by origin.” We have retained the original Census terms when discussing Census data.
