A second community meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, August 19, from 6-7:30 p.m. This meeting will be led by the County with continued close coordination with the City. During the meeting, more information will be provided to attendees about the need for affordable housing including for the unsheltered, the unsheltered population already living in Mountain View, funding, tenant selection process, and other priority topics that surfaced during the first meeting. The County expects to mail out notices on Monday, August 2, to neighboring properties using a 1000’ radius.

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
