query: undocumented immigrants and housing

[colist-admin at comm-org.utoledo.edu]

[ed:  thanks to Luz, Jennifer and Spencer for responding to Susan's 
query.  Luz Guerra <lguerra at mindspring.com> and Jennifer Gordon 
<jengordon at igc.org> both recommended the Tenant's & Workers Support 
Committee in Alexandria, VA, phone (703)684-5697.  They have organized 
undocumented immigrants around both housing and labor issues.]

Advocates for Basic Legal Equality (ABLE) in NW Ohio had a project of
outreach and legal advocacy for housing rights of migrant families a
couple years ago.  They have subsequently lost that funding, but there
may be some materials or staff who know something about the project.
Randy ought to be able to track down some contact info there in the
local ABLE office.

[ed: I can't find a number for ABLE and have heard that they are being 
folded in with Legal Aid here and you might try them at 419-244-8345 but I 
am pretty sure the people doing the farmworkers advocacy are no longer there.]
