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

This event is hosted by Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County as part of Affordable Housing Month 2021.

Join Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, Supervisor Susan Ellenberg as she joins the Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County House Sharing team on her experience with house sharing this past year.

Very much in alignment with this year’s theme with SV@Home – Silicon Valley is Home – the House Sharing Program is grateful to serve our community. Some families have lived here for generations or others are just settling in, Silicon Valley is where we live, and we want all our neighbors to have access to a safe, stable, and affordable home. What better way to do that through House Sharing.

Through this webinar, learn how house sharing can help alleviate the rental housing shortage and create new sources of income, specifically during this pandemic. The Catholic Charities House Sharing Program team will share information on the program and the adjustments they have made to best serve our community during this past year and moving forward.
