The Sacred Heart Housing Action Committee (SHHAC) is holding two community conversations about a proposed new commercial development fee (sometimes called a “commercial linkage fee”) in San Jose. Attend one of two meetings to learn about the proposed fee, how it could help address our affordable housing crisis, and the critical role you and other residents can play in making it happen.
The Housing Needs of Undocumented Residents
JOIN US VIRTUALLY ON FRIDAY, JULY 25TH 12PM

– 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
