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

An estimated 151,000 California residents are currently experiencing homelessness. Driven by astronomical housing costs, a statewide income disparity that is one of the highest in the country, and the COVID-19 pandemic’s stranglehold on our economy, the ranks of this highly-vulnerable population only continue to grow. City- and county-based efforts, as well as state-backed initiatives like Project Roomkey, have found moderate success, but they’re far from the panacea needed for the systemic challenges faced by our state.

However, a new assembly bill known as the “Bring California Home Act”, or AB 71, has the potential to affect radical and lasting change. The bill, currently progressing through the legislature, proposes a new tax increase on large corporations that advocates believe will bring in more than $2.4 billion a year to combat homelessness. Join us to learn more about how AB 71 works, where the revenue would go and how it could radically improve the lives of tens of thousands of Californians.
