Jun Chen and Yan Wang, survivors of a tragic mass shooting in Half Moon Bay that claimed seven lives, are finally moving towards stability after a year in temporary accommodation. This incident highlighted the dire living conditions of farmworkers, which included mold-infested rooms and inadequate shelters. With new manufactured housing on the horizon, these families will soon transition into permanent homes that allow them to build equity, marking a significant step forward in their recovery and healing after the traumatic event.
Although they have lived there for nearly a year, Jun Chen and Yan Wang still don't use the kitchen in their temporary apartment at the top of the hill in Moss Beach.
That was before Jan. 23, 2023, the day their former co-worker, Chunli Zhao, went on a rampage at two farms in Half Moon Bay, fatally shooting seven immigrant farmworkers.
Chen and Wang still prepare most meals in the communal kitchen at Concord Farms in Half Moon Bay where they work.
A modest monthly rental payment will build equity for the families, allowing them to own the trailer outright after 20 years.
