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

Dear Stakeholders,

The City of San Jose’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO) requires developers of multi-family residential projects to include units that are affordable to lower-income residents. In lieu of building these affordable units, developers may select from a variety of compliance options. The IHO plays a key role in meeting the City’s response to the housing crisis. You can read more about the current ordinance on our website.

The City is considering changes to the IHO to ensure the program produces as many affordable housing units as possible for a range of household income levels.

The Housing Department is hosting an outreach meeting to discuss these potential changes to the IHO. The meeting is scheduled as follows:
When:
October 18th
1:00PM - 2:00PM
Where:
San Jose City Hall, Rooms 118-120 - 200 E Santa Clara Street, San Jose
