Today's message is about a rule change that could result in the eviction of 80,000 families from subsidized housing. The open comment period ends Tuesday (April 21st).

Here are sample comments:
For decades, HUD has allowed people living in mixed status households to access federal housing subsidies. This new rule would ban entire families from subsidized housing programs if even one person in the household cannot provide proof of their immigration status.
This rule change would remove eligibility for housing from those with DACA status who came into the country as infants and children, those in the US on Temporary Protected Status, and those here on work visas, student visas, and visas for survivors of violence.
Millions of people in the US lack access to the types of documents needed to prove citizenship. Millions of US citizen children in the United States have one parent who is not a US citizen.
This Republican Administration constantly talks about the benefits of a two-parent household, yet this rule change would force families to choose between staying together and becoming homeless or splitting up the family to stay in subsidized housing.
I do not support changing the rule. Let families of mixed immigration status retain their access to subsidized housing.
