This resolution expresses the House's view that stable housing is a fundamental human right and opposes a Trump administration proposal to prohibit families with mixed immigration status from receiving federal housing assistance. The resolution argues that the proposed rule would force nearly 80,000 families, including approximately 37,000 children, to choose between separating or facing eviction and homelessness. The measure affirms that families regardless of immigration status should be able to continue living together in public housing and Section 8 programs while receiving prorated benefits. Rather than addressing the nation's housing crisis, the resolution contends that the Trump administration's policy scapegoats immigrants and low-income families instead of tackling systemic causes like wage stagnation and lack of affordable housing supply. The resolution calls on Congress to increase federal housing funding, requests a Government Accountability Office report on the proposal's impacts, and urges the HUD Secretary to withdraw the proposed rule.
