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

This 100% affordable project proposed by Charities Housing is early in the entitlement process, but hopes to bring 103 homes to Alum Rock.

The site is located on the VTA’s Alum Rock BRT line and just a 5-minute walk to the Alum Rock & Capital Light Rail stop. The surrounding neighborhood has a library, schools, a farmers’ market, and a variety of restaurants and shops, providing easy access to amenities within walking distance for future residents.

This housing development will offer a mix of studios to 3 bedroom apartments that will soften San Jose’s housing crisis by providing deep levels of affordability for families, with home affordability ranging from 30% to 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI).

Community meetings are expected to commence in April or May; stay tuned to learn how you can let Council know that you support this 103 unit project in an area in desperate need of affordable housing.
