The Housing Needs of Undocumented Residents

JOIN US VIRTUALLY ON FRIDAY, JULY 25TH 12PM

Undocumented immigrants face unique and often invisible barriers to housing—exclusion from federal programs, fear of retaliation, and discriminatory screening practices.

Join us for a timely conversation on how we can break down these barriers and advance housing solutions that include everyone—regardless of immigration status.

We’ll explore:
– Why undocumented immigrants are excluded from key housing programs
– How fear and discrimination drive housing instability
– Local policies and community-based models creating real change

Free, online, and open to the general public, this forum will be hosted by the SV@Home Action Fund, Palo Alto Forward, and the Palo Alto Renters Association.

During this forum, candidates for Palo Alto City Council will answer questions about their plans to tackle the housing crisis. Please register today and join us for this educational event. The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022.

All candidates have been invited: Alex Comsa, Brian Hamachek, Lisa Forssell, Ed Lauing, Julie Lythcott-Haims, Doria Summa, and Vicki Veenker.

Our regional and statewide housing crisis is multi-layered — from housing production to renter protections, from homelessness to preserving affordable housing, and intersecting with transportation, climate change, and equity. Many policies responsible for the crisis began at the city level, and that is where solutions begin as well. Please join us to learn more about each candidate’s ideas, experiences, and plans for the future of housing in Palo Alto.

 

Live Mandarin and Spanish interpretation will be provided for this event.
