From our friends at the National Low Income Housing Coalition:
The Trump administration has proposed a new rule that would prohibit “mixed-status” immigrant families from living in public and other subsidized housing. The rule would result in family separations and evictions for certain immigrant families, putting tens of thousands of people and children at increased risk of homelessness. Learn more here.
More than 25,000 families, including more than 55,000 children who are U.S. citizens or have legal status, are at risk of being made homeless by HUD’s proposal. Join advocates across the nation and submit a comment now. Comments are due by July 9th at 11:59 PM EDT!
The National Low Income Housing Coalition and the National Housing Law Project are leading the effort to oppose HUD’s harmful and cruel proposal, which would evict mixed-status immigrant families from federally assisted housing. Current law, regulation and practice already ensures that ineligible immigrants do not receive housing assistance, and by HUD’s own admission this proposal would provide no benefit to families on housing waiting lists. If the HUD proposal moves forward, more than 25,000 families – including 55,000 children eligible for housing assistance – will be forced to make the impossible decision of either losing their homes or separating.
