Did you know that one in seven Hispanic males are obese as young boys? And that, at every age, Hispanic boys and young men are less likely than their white and black peers to have health insurance?
We presented these findings and more in the report we released last week (and the #SaludTues chat we co-hosted this week!). Today, we're pleased to release an infographic that presents a portrait of critical health and education information about Latino boys and young men in a highly accessible way. Read on for more, including important updates from the field.

There are 12.5 million Hispanic boys and young men ages birth to 24 in the U.S. today, and their health and education outcomes are critically important to the future of our country.
Our new infographic showcases indicators of risk and wellbeing, including rates of obesity, substance use, expulsion/suspension, and employment, and how Hispanic males compare to their black and white peers. It illustrates where we can focus to better serve Latino boys and young men going forward, so as to best set them up for success. Share with your networks to get the word out!

The ACF Office of Child Care just announced the release of final regulations for the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) program, which was reauthorized in 2014 and changed to better support parents and children. The new rules (the first in 18 years) provide clarity to states on how to best implement the law and administer the program.
