3 RECOMMENDATIONS STATE POLICY In Texas the economic impact of the agricultural food and fiber sector totals more than $100 billion each year, and one of every seven working Texans is in an ag-related job. (TDA website) If we d be willing to pay just pennies more for our fruit and vegetables, and if those pennies would go towards what farmworkers earn, they would be able to afford better housing! OK I ll stick with our state housing policies
4 RECOMMENDATIONS STATE POLICY 1. Fund farmworker housing programs Increase the Housing Trust Fund New National Housing Trust Fund Increase CDBG colonias set aside to 15% (up from 10%) 2. Use state funds to attract RD 514/516 to Texas To build new units To preserve aging existing units

9 WHERE FARMWORKERS LIVE Rural + Urban Ag is rural, but farmworkers live also in urban areas. The 514/516 program is the only RD program allowed to be built in urban communities.
10 WHERE DO TEXAS FARMWORKERS LIVE? Farmworkers Housing Options: Own or rent single family homes, or mobile or manufactured homes - most substandard, many located in the colonias, most are overcrowded Multi-Family: o Publicly financed USDA RD 514/516 o Other affordable very few serve farmworkers Employer-Provided or Other Migrant Housing o Various federal and state licensing rules and requirements Serious health consequences to poor housing poor farmworker housing is detrimental to all of us who eat food.

16 Migrant Housing Rules Rule TDHCA (STATE) Migrant Labor Housing Facilities Texas Administrative Code, Title 10, Part 1, Chapter 90 (RULE 90) OSHA EPA/DOL MSPA H2A Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 [29 U.S.C ; 29 C.F.R. Pt 1928] Temporary labor camps Wagner-Peyser Act [29 U.S.C. 49; 20 C.F.R. Pt 654 et seq.] Migrant Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (AWPA) [29 U.S.C Section 1801; 29 C.F.R. Part 500 et seq.] Immigration and Nationality Act (H-2A Worker Program) [8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(a) and 1186; 20 C.F.R. Part 655; 29 C.F.R. Part 501 Agency Purpose Migrant Housing TDHCA Manufactured Housing Division Licenses required if a facility is used more than 3 days for 2 or more seasonal, temporary, or migrant families or 3 or more seasonal, temporary, or migrant workers, whether rent is paid or reserved in connection with the use of the facility. Regulates temporary labor camps (any occupation) built after April 3, 1980 under construction or constructed before April 3, 1980 Wage and Hour Division, DOL Migrant housing complies with all the applicable substantive federal and state health and safety standards if employer recruits, solicits, hires, employs, furnishes, or transports any migrant or seasonal agricultural worker. DOL, ETA, State Workforce Agency Employers seeking H2A workers must present proof to DOL s Office of Foreign Labor Certification from their state Job Service that the housing for workers meets applicable standards.
17 Employer Provided Housing (TDHCA-licensed) 29 licensed facilities for migrant workers Capacity to house 4,068 workers 24 employer based (5 are facilities) Reduced from 32 facilities in 2004 Reduced from 125 facilities in the 1980s
18 RECOMMENDATIONS STATE POLICY 3. Update Rules for Migrant Housing Licensing. It has been almost 10 years since the migrant housing rules were updated and given to TDHCA s Manufactured Housing Division to enforce. Improved complaint systems are needed. Inspection of public accommodations small motels and mobile homes are needed. The state should review progress of recommendations made in 2006.
19 RECOMMENDATIONS STATE POLICY 4. Look at recommendations from studies: American Public Health Association September 21, 2006 TDHCA report to the 79 th Legislature. Special Report: Migrant Labor Housing Facilities in Texas (PDF) Bowen National Research made recommendations in November 2012 in the farmworker housing analysis. New farmworker health and housing research (Legal Services and health researchers)
