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

What has the Santa Clara County Housing Authority been doing for 50 years?

Share:

The Santa Clara County Housing Authority recently turned 50, and executive director Katherine Harasz shared their important work over the last 50 years in the San Jose Mercury opinion section.

Every day, the Housing Authority ensures that over 18,000 families have an affordable place to call home in Santa Clara County.

Our role in the community has taken on many forms: from buying land and building affordable housing to paying over $21 million a month in rental assistance to landlords throughout our community on behalf of qualified low-income renters. Our work has been vital to the fabric of the county, ensuring that thousands of families are still able to call our community home.
