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

Our partner NPH is the anchor organization for the Shift the Bay initiative, developing research-driven and field-practiced strategies, tactics, and messages that can help us grow public support and political will, that can change hearts and minds, and seize this powerful moment to drive new narratives for our movement. They have lots of great resources at ShifttheBay.org to help with messaging and narrative strategies!

As part of the Shift the Bay initiative, NPH hosted a media training led by M+R Communications, Opinion Pieces: Writing Op-Eds, Letters to the Editor, and Editorial Board Memos, which reviewed tips on how to write effective opinion pieces and increase the chances of getting your piece published. Check it out below, and use narrative strategies from the Seize the Narrative Playbook and accompanying Message Guide to develop a frame that names the urgency and opportunity of this moment while placing the responsibility on our government to act in the best interest of people.
