Safe, affordable housing is more than shelter. It is the foundation for health, stability, and dignity.
Across the United States, many farm workers and their families live in unsafe, overcrowded, or unaffordable conditions. As a result, their homes often range from employer-provided H-2A camps to rural rentals and aging trailers. These challenges are both urgent and unjust.
In A Place to Call Home: Farm Worker Housing Today & Tomorrow, the National Farm Worker Ministry (NFWM) convenes a powerful discussion on the intersection of farm worker housing, immigration, and the U.S. housing crisis. Elizabeth Rodriguez (NFWM), Daniela Dwyer (DNA – People’s Legal Services), Abel Luna (Migrant Justice), and Ramon Martinez and Jorge Alvarado (Farmworker Housing Development Corporation).
Together, these leaders explore the realities of farm worker housing in America today, the systemic barriers to safety and stability, and the vision for a future where every worker has a true place to call home.
