Critical housing need for local farm workers in Shafter
About 1900 residents live year round at two Farm Labor Centers in Shafter run by the U S Department of Agriculture Labor Branch. With potential loss of federal funds after June 30 unless Congress acts, the camps are vital to supporting harvests and keeping workers close to farms in this productive agricultural area.
