I wanted to pass on the good news that our immigrant housing project – now called the Posada to Casa Pilot Project – has been funded through the Board of Supervisors add back process! It’s taken months of lobbying and is part of an overall package of immigrant services totaling around 1.2 Million dollars. We had originally asked for $500,000 to fully fund the project but through some last minute budget reductions and advocacy we were able to get $250,000 to fund a scaled down pilot project.
So after many years of planning for a dignified housing alternative for homeless Day Laborers and Domestic Workers we have secured funding to get the project off the ground. Thanks to all who have worked on this project over the years and especially to Chris Daly’s office for supporting services to our city’s most vulnerable populations!
