A proposed rule from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development would restrict housing assistance for mixed-immigration-status families, potentially causing about 80,000 people nationwide, including 37,000 children, to lose rental support.
Current policy allows families with both eligible and ineligible members to live together while receiving assistance only for those who qualify, but the proposed change could force families to separate or risk eviction and housing instability. The rule would also require additional citizenship verification, which could put millions of U.S. citizens at risk of losing housing assistance if they cannot easily access required documentation.
