In 2023, led by Supervisor Sylvia Arenas, the County of Santa Clara adopted a comprehensive farmworker housing workplan that highlights the need for the County to prioritize the needs of our farmworkers. The panel will focus on the critical need for farmworker housing, while also serving as an informative workshop for farmworkers, providing them with valuable information about their rights and the resources available to them. This workshop will reaffirm our commitment to providing affordable housing to our farmworkers and supporting our immigrant community during these unprecedented times.
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
