The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has proposed new rules to threaten housing for families of mixed immigration status. Under this new rule, families where some members are undocumented will be forced to choose between breaking up in order to receive housing assistance and not receiving assistance at all. The Washington Low Income Housing Alliance notes that 55,000 children could face eviction if this rule goes into effect, and they have a portal where you can submit a comment on this horrendous rule. Just as #FamiliesBelongTogether and should not be separated at our borders, they should remain together within our borders. Submit a comment today, and tell HUD that we need to increase housing resources, not limit them!
