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 City of Sunnyvale is underway with a community planning effort to refine and guide the future vision of Sunnyvale’s 4-mile stretch of El Camino Real as a mixed-use corridor with safer environments for walking, bicycling and other modes of transportation.  A draft EIR is being prepared to evaluate up to 6,900 net new housing units and 730,000 new square feet of commercial space, reflecting the Council’s preference for a plan that maximizes opportunities for housing along the Corridor.  The draft EIR was originally expected to be released for public review in July 2018, with final EIR certification anticipated in late-2018. Significant delays, however, put the Plan on indefinite hold up until the present time.

The City initially anticipated a new release date for the draft EIR and Specific Plan in Fall 2020, which was to be followed by additional community engagement, a Council study session, and a final Council vote, but as of September 2021, the process is still in limbo.
