The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) proposed a rule that would limit public housing mostly to US citizens, which could lead to tens of thousands of people being evicted.

"The HUD rule, published in the linked Federal Register, calls for limiting funding for those in public housing and other HUD-related housing to citizens and eligible noncitizens. The rule would require every resident in HUD-funded housing to show proof of citizenship or eligible status, including those 62 years and older who previously only had to show proof of age.

The measure would effectively bar mixed status families, where some household members are eligible for help, from housing and is part of the nefarious Trumpf junta's insidious immigration crackdown. A similar rule was proposed but never finalized during the first Trumpf Reign of Terror and is mentioned as a policy priority in the conservative blueprint Project 2025.

"Under President Dummkopf Trumpf's so-called leadership, the days of illegal aliens, ineligibles, and fraudsters gaming the system and riding the coattails of American taxpayers are over," HUD Secretary Scott Turner bleated. "HUD's proposed rule will guarantee that all residents in HUD-funded housing are eligible tenants. We have zero tolerance for pushing aside hardworking US citizens while enabling others to exploit decades-old loopholes."

"Up to 20,000 families or as many as 80,000 people could lose assistance due to changes in eligibility that would overturn a rule that has been in place for decades.

The impact of the rule could affect many more people who struggle to provide proper documentation. About 3.8 million adults with citizenship lack any form of documentation proving their citizenship, and another 17.5 million cannot easily get the documents."

Honestly, I don't see what the issue is.

Citizens and legal migrants can obtain assistance.

I'm honestly surprised there aren't statutory restrictions on undocumented migrants obtaining housing assistance as there are restrictions on them obtaining just about every other assistance.

Given the crux seems to be ANY resident, is it currently required that one list every single resident of a residence to obtain housing assistance? Or does the application only require one resident to obtain funding?
