Farm Labor Housing provides affordable, safe, and decent homes for agricultural workers and their families who play a vital role in our food supply chain. Funded through programs supported by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), these developments are designed to improve the living conditions of farmworkers by offering stable, well-maintained housing close to agricultural areas. The program helps both seasonal and year-round farmworkers access affordable rental units, ensuring that those who harvest and cultivate our food have access to secure housing for themselves and their families.
