The housing crisis among farmworkers sparked NFWA efforts to close and reform the camps. One example was the Tulare rent strike organized by Gilbert Padilla<\/a> and Rev. Jim Drake<\/a> in March 1965. The Migrant Ministry organizers had learned from the workers about the bad conditions in the Woodville and Linnell camps. These camps were built by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) in 1938 and had 440 small one-room shacks made out of heavy tin or wood siding with tin roofs. The government meant them to last only ten years.<\/span><\/p>\n

By the 1950s the FSA gave the camps to the Tulare County Housing Authority which started charging rents ($18 to $38 a month by 1964). In 1965 the authority wanted to raise the rent by as much as 47 percent.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”http:\/\/farmworkermovement-csun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/17.41.JK_.N35.B12.14.01.23-1-scaled.jpg” background_size=”custom” background_image_width=”105%” background_position=”top_center” background_vertical_offset=”23%” min_height=”506px” custom_margin=”||12px|||” link_option_url=”https:\/\/digital-library.csun.edu\/fmc” link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”388.8px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”12px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||1px|||” link_option_url=”https:\/\/digital-library.csun.edu\/fmc” link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

After hearing the residents\u2019 complaints Padilla, David Havens of the Migrant Ministry, and Jim Drake decided to organize a rent strike. The tenants refused to pay the rent hikes and kept paying the old rates. The tenants organized a seven-mile march from Linnell to Visalia on July 16. The march of 350 farmworkers and supporters brought about an investigation into the Tulare County Housing Authority. Before the summer was over, the rent increases were formally rescinded, and new buildings were constructed (the court ruled the rent hike was in bad faith).<\/span><\/p>\n
