The Latino Policy Forum is a Chicago-based nonprofit that conducts policy analysis from a Latino perspective and brings together diverse community groups to participate in policy discussions and advocacy on issues affecting the region. Its current focus areas include early childhood education, housing affordability and equity, and immigration reform intended to support the integration of immigrants into social, economic, and political life. The organization operates within the public policy sector and serves as a forum for informed civic engagement. Its audience comprises Latino communities and policymakers, seeking practical solutions through analysis, convening discussions, and advocacy on education, housing, and immigration. In January 2024, it partnered with the Brookings Institution to release Closing the Latino Wealth Gap, a report examining Latinos' economic status in its state relative to others. Earlier collaboration includes a 2022 partnership with the DuPage Regional Office of Education to offer English Learner Administrator Academies via micro-credentials.
