In 2013, the SCF reported that Hispanic median household wealth was $17,500, when adjusted for inflation. The following year, NAHREP announced a goal to triple Hispanic wealth and launched the Hispanic Wealth Project™ (HWP), an initiative born in the wake of the Great Recession, when Latinos lost a substantial portion of their household wealth. To guide that goal, the HWP produced a blueprint outlining three primary areas of focus, along with a series of targeted component goals for building wealth: increasing homeownership, scaling small businesses, and diversifying financial assets.
“Despite incredibly challenging environments which included the Great Recession and COVID-19, Hispanic wealth has exploded at a pace never seen before. There is still a substantial wealth gap, but the gap is closing and the primary key indicators are positive and are expected to continue,” said Sara Rodriguez, Chairperson of the Hispanic Wealth Project.
NAHREP and HWP released a report in September at the NAHREP at L’ATTITUDE event in Miami that detailed the primary drivers of Hispanic Wealth. The findings of the SCF report will be discussed in detail at the 2023 Hispanic Wealth Symposium in Washington D.C. on November 9, 2023.
About the Hispanic Wealth Project: The Hispanic Wealth Project™ (HWP™), a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, is committed to empowering Latinos to fully participate and prosper in the U.S. economy through education, small business development, and sustainable homeownership.
About NAHREP: The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals® (NAHREP®), a nonprofit 501(c)6 trade association, is dedicated to advancing sustainable homeownership for the Hispanic community in America. NAHREP has a network of over 40,000 real estate professionals and 100 local chapters nationwide, hosting several national events per year and publishing multiple industry cornerstone reports annually and multimedia content.

This year’s Axel Springer Award was given to Satya Nadella for his outstanding achievements as the CEO of Microsoft. Through his visionary leadership and groundbreaking strategic decisions, Nadella has successfully modernized and transformed Microsoft—towards a stronger focus on cloud computing and artificial intelligence—making him the pioneer of the tech industry. A high level of innovation and his commitment to a diverse and open corporate culture also characterize his pioneering spirit.
Uponor was honored to take part in this event, in which Michael Rauterkus, President and CEO of Uponor Corporation, had the opportunity to take part in a Round Table Talk about AI with the award recipient Satya Nadella together with other top executives.
“Participating in the Axel Springer Award event was significant for Uponor,” says Rauterkus, “as it aligns with our aim to form value networks and partnerships bringing together diverse perspectives to advance innovation and sustainability in our field. It was a great pleasure to discuss the challenges and opportunities of AI in this forum.
“I was especially keen to inquire about Nadella’s perspectives on ‘smart homes’ linking to how Uponor, by moving water intelligently, offers integrated heating and cooling solutions that minimize the use of energy and water in buildings,” he continues. “This is especially important since the construction industry is responsible for almost 40% of global emissions. At the same time, the construction industry lags far behind in terms of digitalization, and we need to seize every opportunity to learn from other industries. There is a tremendous potential to use digital technologies to improve the sustainable performance of buildings, reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions.”
At the event, Uponor showcased one of its latest booth designs, setting the focus on sustainability and innovation. The focus was not merely on showcasing products; it’s about emphasizing Uponor’s profound commitment to the vital topic of water and how it supports the greater purpose behind Uponor’s mission. This was reflected by the booth’s modern and sustainable materials while the water show transported the clear message of Uponor’s mission to redefine the role of water in sustainable construction.
“Moving Water,” for Uponor, goes beyond a mere phrase. It serves as a testament to the company’s deep-rooted commitment to creating an impact in the building industry.
Although Uponor’s pipes are often hidden from sight, they play a pivotal role in our daily lives, safeguarding delivery of safe water, intelligent heating and cooling keeping people in their comfort zone, saving energy and money, thereby enabling sustainable affordable housing.
