Site Visit to the Boyle Heights Branch

Site visits are a much anticipated feature of the Inclusiv Conference. This year, on Monday, September 16th, we’re excited to visit the Boyle Heights branch of SCE Federal Credit Union, a CDFI credit union serving the greater Los Angeles and Las Vegas areas.

The site visit is currently at capacity. Please check back with the registration desk to see if any last-minute space becomes available.

ABOUT THE BOYLE HEIGHTS COMMUNITY

Boyle Heights occupies just over six square miles east of downtown LA and is home to 100,000 people. It has one of the highest percentages of Latino residents in LA County. Over 80% of Boyle Heights residents are of Mexican descent, with over 50% not born in the US, a percentage high for LA County where 35% of residents are foreign born. About one-third of people living in Boyle Heights live in poverty.

An area rich in history and culture, Boyle Heights was also once a hub of gang violence. It is home to Homeboy Industries, one of the largest gang intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry programs in the world.
