Housing Opportunities for Farm Workers

The Imperial Valley Housing Authority offers affordable housing opportunities for farm workers and their families who reside in the Imperial County. These units are developed to support the essential workforce that helps sustain our local agricultural economy.

Several of our farm worker housing communities were made possible through funding and support from agencies such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the California Department of Housing & Community Development (HCD). This investment ensures that farm working families have access to safe, decent, and affordable homes.

Key Features:

·         Income-based rent

·         Family-friendly units in various sizes

·         On-site maintenance and responsive property management

Eligibility

To qualify, at least one member of the household must earn a substantial portion of their income from agricultural work, as defined by federal or state guidelines.

Must earn a minimum of $5,753 annually in farm labor.

Because of demand for affordable housing exceeds our housing stock, IVHA maintains a waiting list for all housing programs. Please note that applications for farm worker housing are subject to closure when waiting lists become full. Interested applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible and check our website for updates.
