While there are housing options they aren’t always in the best conditions for the workers and their families. The state does have laws in place in order to help migrant workers in regards to better facilities, but incidents. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean that those in charge of the facilities or owners of these companies actively try to change or support their migrant workers. This is why there are other services like clinics available to these workers, including some with resources in Spanish.
