The Susie and Alan B. Levan Family Foundation
One of the first pledges made by the Susie and Alan B. Levan Family Foundation was a $100,000, four-year gift to Hispanic Unity of Florida (HUF) supporting the organization’s citizenship program.
South Florida has the third largest population of legal permanent residents (LPR’s) in the country. Today, there are nearly 500,000 individuals in South Florida who are eligible for U.S. citizenship. The Levan Family Foundation’s gift will support 20+ HUF citizenship centers across Broward and Miami-Dade counties; they will assist 13,000 aspiring citizens achieve their American dream of U.S. citizenship.
The legacy of the Susie and Alan B. Levan Family Foundation will impact the financial futures of the program participants they support. Naturalized citizens experience an increase in employment, wages, and homeownership. As a result of citizenship, our communities benefit from an increase in tax revenues, as well as a decrease in the use of public benefits.
