Trump Administration Proposes New Rule Restricting Housing Assistance for Mixed-Status Immigrant Families

- The Trump administration has proposed a federal regulation that would prohibit families with mixed immigration status from receiving housing assistance or living in public or Section 8 housing.
- The proposal could evict approximately 80,000 people, including 37,000 children who are U.S. citizens, forcing mixed-status families to choose between homelessness or separation.
- Advocates argue the rule directly targets immigrant families and contradicts current policy allowing federal housing assistance for families with mixed legal status, where the government only pays for individuals with legal status.
- The regulation remains in the proposed stage and is subject to public comment and potential litigation.
