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

San Jose City Council Takes Action on Evergreen Senior Homes Initiative

Share:

On March 6th, the San Jose City Council took action to place the Evergreen Senior Homes Initiative on the June 5th ballot.  While all 11 members of the City Council have come out in opposition of the Initiative, there were only two options before the Council– approve the measure or place it on the ballot for voters to decide.  Read more about the Council’s action here.

On the same meeting agenda, the Council voted to place a Charter Amendment on the June 5th ballot– “An Act to Limit Urban Sprawl and the Fiscal and Environmental Effects of Specified Development in Outlying Areas.”  Read more about this measure here.

While SV@Home has taken action to oppose the Evergreen Senior Homes Initiative, no action has been taken on the new Charter Amendment proposed by the City Council.
