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

The breadth of the Bay Area’s housing crisis has activated people across Santa Clara County wanting to contribute to policy solutions. These local residents have come together to form a new generation of community organizations dedicated to using grassroots organizing and policy expertise to advocate for more housing and affordable housing at the level of city government. With successes across the County, they’ve proven that local, organized voices can push city councils to plan for and permit new affordable housing opportunities.

Join representatives of several of these grassroots organizations to learn more about their origins, their missions, their successes, and how they plan to continue to grow their movement. The discussion will be followed by a Q+A session for the audience to ask their own questions. Confirmed panelists include:

  • Sue Serrone, Livable Sunnyvale

  • JR Fruen, Cupertino For All

  • Suds Jain, Santa Clara Advocates

  • Kelsey Banes, South Bay YIMBY (Palo Alto)

  • Moderator: Kiyomi Honda Yamamoto, Greenbelt Alliance

Dinner will be provided!

This event is co-hosted by Greenbelt Alliance and Silicon Valley at Home
