Providing culturally responsive support that honors the dignityand strength of Idaho’s community.
In Idaho, 41% of households—including half of all Hispanic households—live below the ALICE Threshold, facing impossible daily decisions no one should have to make: food or medicine, rent or transportation.
The Idaho Hispanic Foundation’s Family and Community Resource Center (FCRC) was created to fill that gap, offering free, culturally responsive support that honors the dignity and strength of Idaho’s community.
Elia Lopez, a dedicated advocate for social and economic well-being who grew up in Canyon County, brings her bilingual expertise to uplift students and families at the IHF FCRC. As the IHF FCRC Manager, Elia connects individuals with critical community resources, collaborates with local organizations to expand services, and actively works to enhance community engagement through events and initiatives. With a strong foundation in office management and a commitment to community service, she has become a trusted resource and leader for students, families, and community members alike.
