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
Supervisor Ellenberg will open with context and why she worked to set aside money for childcare facilities and how she thinks co-location plays a role in child-friendly communities. Then we will have our lending team-Steven Yang will share how support for affordable housing and how colocation fits in its work. ECE policy team-Shelly Masur discuss potential barriers to colocation (policy/funding). Mercy Housing Development in SF’s Sunnydale Neighborhood will be the highlighted example.
