Bar noncitizens and mixed-status families from federally assisted housing
What the document says“The Office of the Secretary should recommence proposed regulation put forward under the Trump Administration that would prohibit noncitizens, including all mixed-status families, from living in all federally assisted housing.”
A mixed-status family is one in which some members are eligible for assistance and some are not. The chapter says the department's statutory obligations include housing American citizens in need, asks for alignment with immigration-related reforms elsewhere including the public charge framework, and says local welfare organizations rather than the federal government should provide housing welfare for noncitizens.
What the document actually says“The Office of the Secretary should recommence proposed regulation put forward under the Trump Administration that would prohibit noncitizens, including all mixed-status families, from living in all federally assisted housing.”
Restart the rule from the last Trump term. It would keep noncitizens out of assisted housing.
Some families have members who can get housing help and members who cannot. The book says the whole family should be barred. It wants a rule from before brought back.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
