Southwest Border Region, Colonias, and Migrant/Farmworker Initiatives
http://www.hud.gov/offices/odoc/swbr/

HUD's Southwest Border Region, Colonias, and Migrant/Farmworker Initiatives (SWBR) Office identifies resources and collaborates with federal, state and local partners to improve the lives of people along the US- Mexican Border and in farmworker communities. The SWBR initiative is not a program and does not have its own grant dollars. However, we work to ensure that HUD programs are used effectively to help these communities.

Colonias/Farmworkers Legal Working Group
http://www.hud.gov/groups/legal.cfm

HUD is working with other federal agencies to reach out to partners everywhere to help improve the housing and communities of migrant/farmworkers and people living in colonias. The Federal Interagency Legal Working Group for Colonias and Migrant Farmworker Issues has formed to help local groups - including legal aid groups - across the nation address the unique needs of these people. This legal aid initiative is part of HUD's Southwest Border Region, Colonias and Migrant/Farmworker Initiatives (SWBR).
