Housing Elements can be a complicated, intimidating process — but with the right messaging, we can help break down barriers and motivate residents and advocates to get involved and shape better policy. This presentation will lay out an approach for what to say and how to say it to bring people in, communicate the essentials, and get them engaged in the process.
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
