Immigrant Integration in Low-income Urban Neighborhoods: Improving Economic Prospects and Strengthening Connections for Vulnerable Families

This report prepared for the Annie E. Casey Foundation by the Urban Institute, addresses how immigrants are integrating in U.S. inner cities. Immigrant families have emerged as an important, vulnerable population given that a large number of children, 3.5 million, are living in immigrant families with incomes below 100 percent of the federal poverty level. The report draws on a survey of residents in ten vulnerable urban neighborhoods to examine the financial well-being and economic integration of families of different racial, ethnic, and nativity status. – Publisher’s description
