Half Moon Bay, CA – Mr. Huang lives in a modest one-bedroom apartment off Highway 1, just a few miles from the town of Half Moon Bay. Originally from Hong Kong, he stands at the front door to welcome the group of support providers who arrive for one of their regular visits.
Before January, Huang and a handful of other Chinese farmworkers here were so invisible that few in this otherwise close-knit coastal community even knew they existed.
