Residents of federally funded public housing will be required to show proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status under a new rule published Thursday by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The measure could displace nearly 80,000 people, including tens of thousands of citizens in mixed-status families, from their homes, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan research and policy institute.
Since 1995, mixed-status families have been permitted to live together in HUD-funded housing as long as federal subsidies covered only eligible household members. The new rule may force these families to decide whether to remain together in nonpublic housing or split up their households.
"This is tearing apart families and sowing division," said Marie Claire Tran-Leung, director of the Evictions Initiative Project and managing attorney at the National Housing Law Project.
The rule's prior status, which allowed mixed-status families to live together, worked well for all parties, Tran-Leung said. Mixed-status households often paid a higher share of rent because their subsidies were prorated, experts say. If those families are forced to leave public housing, HUD will likely face financial shortfalls, Tran-Leung said.
About 20,000 mixed-status families, or 80,000 people, could be affected by the rule, CBPP's data shows. About 37,000 of those are children, mostly U.S. citizens, CBPP said.
The rule is scheduled to take effect on Dec. 14.

“Displacing thousands!” of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
“Displacing thousands!” of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
Public housing residents must prove immigration status under new HUD rule, possibly freeing up resources to those legally in the country.
There, fixed it.
It’s about damn time.
Think about it—it took almost two years to get the regulation through.
During that same period in the Biden years many millions of illegals flooded into the country.
When it comes to leftist action vs conservative legalisms we get annihilated every time.
Saw “CBS”, read the lede, and then looked for what I knew would be contents...all kinds of folks who are being displaced, inconvenienced, etc. What a corrupt sewage collection of media we have.

What the nice lady is referring to is illegal alien mothers and sometimes the fathers living in public housing and living off the housing and welfare beneits of their anchor baby birthright citizenship children
This is the way.
LONG OVERDUE!
Deport all illegals...all of whom who are criminal parasites.

“This is teaching immigrant families the importance of following immigration law. The USA is a nation of laws, not men, and nobody is above the law. Newcomers must respect the laws of the USA and not become wards of the state.” said ProtectOurFreedom at FreeRepublic.
Do you mean that you have to be here legally to sponge off the taxpayers? What’s this world coming to?
Oh noes!!
Oh noes!!
If they are illegals, they should be displaced. Deport them all!
That’s a shame. Not. ;)
Since we have apparently lost the hispanic vote completely Trump should go full scorched earth. Instead, he is talking about softening.
