Condemns federal rule proposal that would force families of mixed immigration status in affordable housing to separate or face eviction.

This resolution condemns a federal rule proposal by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development that would prohibit families of mixed immigration status from residing in federally-subsidized housing. The proposed rule would require residents under 62 to have their immigration status screened, and families with ineligible members would face eviction within 18 months. The resolution argues that this rule would be administratively burdensome, divert resources from property maintenance and resident services, and could lead to higher costs and reduced housing quality.
