Homeownership has become increasingly out of reach for many Cailfornians, and new data from the Terner Center indicates that the state lags far behind others in homeownership rates. And those who have been able to buy a home are taking longer to pay off the mortgage, which has implications for wealth building and equitable housing outcomes.
Join us for a webinar on Tuesday, August 15 at noon PT as we dig into our recent work on the topic and identify potential solutions for reversing these trends. Speakers will include Ellen Martin, Director of Homeownership, California Housing Finance Agency, Noerena Limón, Principal, Mariposa Strategies, Jeff Schroeder, Ponderosa Homes and Chair of the California Building Industry Association, and Issi Romem, Founder, MetroSight. Panel will be moderated by our Policy Director David Garcia.
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
