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

You worked hard to get key community priorities into your local housing element- the eight-year plan each city must create to meet the housing needs of all its residents and make space for future growth. In 2025, that two years of the planning (6th) cycle are complete, how are housing elements in Santa Clara County delivering? What are the key trends happening across the county? What programs will need your engagement over the coming year?

SV@Home’s Policy Team engages with local elected officials and city staff, developers, and grassroots advocates all year. Watch the recording to learn more about local progress on housing elements so you can be better equipped to understand and participate in your community’s policy decisions. View the slides here.

SV@Home’s Policy in Action @ Home series (PIA) is a monthly, informal discussion convening Housers to engage on hot housing topics. Every month, we select a topic or current event, bring in an expert to give a brief presentation or interview, and then open up the discussion to ask questions, float new ideas, and identify potential areas for shared action.

SV@Home strives to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. To request an accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility, please email events@siliconvalleyathome.org
