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

On June 3rd, the Palo Alto City Council is set to discuss plans for a remade Cubberley Community Center. The site is owned by the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD), with 8 acres leased by the city, so the planning process will involve decisions by both the city and the school district. We expect that the Council will be directing staff on which options they should study, so housers will be out in force to advocate for keeping all housing options on the table!

This council meeting follows a series of community meetings during the first half of this year during which participants developed a number of land use alternatives, as shown below.

 

The alternatives contemplate various mixes of PAUSD staff housing with potential affordable senior or city staff housing. SV@Home is most excited about option 4, which could deliver at least 64 units of PAUSD staff housing along with 100 units of affordable senior or city staff housing.

The full information about the Cubberley Master Planning Process can be found on Palo Alto USD’s Cubberley Co-Design site.
