Abstract	The Delaware Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights examined housing, employment, and health among the state's more than 1,500 migrants. Committee findings indicated: (1) there is no accurate count of migrants in the state or migrants in need of housing on a seasonal basis; (2) Delaware has pursued an aggressive policy of upgrading and enforcing housing standards governing migrant labor camps; (3) 80% of all growers utilize the state clearance system to recruit migrant workers, thereby providing greater assurances of adequacy of available migrant housing; (4) an undetermined number of migrants are housed in unlicensed camps that do not provide decent, safe, and sanitary accommodations and are beyond the scope of state and local regulations; (5) during 1983, 11 farm labor contractors violated the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Workers Protection Act by failing to disclose conditions of employment, maintain required records, and/or provide wage statements to workers; (6) frequency and severity of migrant employment problems are decreasing; (7) alcoholism is considered the major Delaware migrant health problem and is directly related to the lack of recreational opportunities; and (8) Delaware offers a progressive system of health care services through public health clinics, rural ministries, private doctors, and private hospitals.
