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

Affordable Housing Month is a month-long series of events, workshops, and campaigns throughout the month of May every year dedicated to raising awareness and driving action around the housing challenges facing our communities. It’s a powerful reminder to Silicon Valley residents every year that housing is a human right and that the fight for equity, dignity, and stability starts with a safe place to call home. Throughout the month, we come together to amplify the urgency of the housing crisis, celebrate the tireless efforts of advocates and community leaders, and spotlight real, lasting solutions rooted in justice. It’s a movement-building moment that fuels collective action, deepens public understanding, and reaffirms our shared commitment to ensuring everyone, no matter their income or background, can thrive in a home and community they can afford.

2024 #4Us4You4All

Poster art by Rayos Magos

AHM is the time to bring people together to transform our communities into more diverse, affordable, equitable, and accessible places to live. 2024’s theme of #4Us4You4All recognizes that our well-being is tied to the well-being of our neighbors.

This means moving housing affordability beyond the creation of affordable homes for individuals to the realization of stable neighborhoods for whole communities – a vision going beyond housing as a human right to one of healing and restoration for us, for you, and for all. That is why we lift up local partner programming to demonstrate the breadth and depth of the affordable housing ecosystem in Santa Clara County and the strength of our collective work. The future we envision for the Bay Area begins with us.
