25 Years Old Hispanic Center to Close its Doors
The south Minneapolis center that was founded 25 years ago to help Hispanic Minnesotans but for the past several years, the organization has faced financial problems. They only recently became insurmountable.
After a weekend review of the organization's finances, the board of directors voted Thursday to close shop at its south Minneapolis headquarters, effective immediately.
"I'm in shock," said Ortiz, who coordinated the Centro de Derechos Laborales, or Worker Rights Center, and the English as a second language program. "It's such a great loss for the community. We've been here so long and served the community extremely well."
Although the Resource Center still exists as an organization, all of its 17 full- and part-time employees have been given notice or let go.
