Housing and Anti-Poverty

Many undocumented people live in insecure and over-crowded housing, despite often paying exorbitant rent. Many are pushed into homelessness, and often can’t access shelters, food or financial support from the state.

We call for systems that protect all tenants’ rights, provide decent accommodation, food and basic facilities.
