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

ln light of the tragic workplace shooting in San Jose on 5/26, this event has been postponed to June. Registrants wilI be contacted with the new date and time as soon as possible.

This event is hosted by SV@Home, Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, and Greenbelt Alliance as part of Affordable Housing Month 2021. 

Bring your friends and join fellow housers as we kick off the Housing Element process in Santa Clara County!

Every eight years, the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) process is used to assign each city and county in California their “fair share” of new housing units to build. The RHNA process is critical because it requires all cities and counties to plan for the housing needs of their residents, regardless of income, in an effort to plan for future growth and ease the Bay Area’s acute housing crisis.

Now each city must create Housing Elements, the cities’ detailed plan for where and how all these new housing units will be built in the next eight years. It’s hugely important for housing advocates to get involved, to make sure plans are fair and feasible! Learn more about how to get involved and connect with the grassroots organizations that are leading the charge.
