Mixed-Status Families and Eligibility for Certain HUD Housing Programs: What You Need to Know About HUD’s Proposed Rule
Overview
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1980 (“The Act”) prohibits the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from making financial assistance available to persons other than U.S. citizens or certain categories of eligible noncitizens in HUD’s public and specified assisted housing programs.i The Act enumerates certain eligible individuals for assistance and does not prohibit prorated assistance for eligible household individuals who are part of mixed-status familiesii – families that have at least one eligible household member, as well as other ineligible household member(s).
Those eligible for assistance under the Act are: (1) U.S. citizens and nationals; (2) lawful permanent residents; (3) VAWA self-petitioners; (4) asylees and refugees; (5) parolees; (6) persons granted withholding of removal/deportation; (7) victims of trafficking; (8) individuals residing in U.S. under compacts of free association with Marshall Islands, Micronesia & Palau; and (9) immigrants admitted for lawful temporary residence under the Immigration Reform & Control Act of 1986.
Current Practice for Mixed Status Families
People who are ineligible do NOT receive assistance;
At least one U.S. citizen or eligible immigrant must live in the household and may receive prorated assistance from a HUD program; and
Individuals in the household must submit or meet one of the following documentation requirements:
(1) declaration that they are a U.S. citizen or noncitizen with eligible status;
(2) eligible noncitizens must provide an original copy of a document designated by DHS as acceptable evidence; or
(3) a household member can “Not Contend" eligibility (i.e., they do not request consideration for assistance).
Proposed Changes
HUD is proposing to revise the current eligibility standards for housing assistance drastically. If implemented, the proposed rule would limit many families’ ability to access such assistance. Specifically, HUD is seeking to:
Prohibit prorated assistance to mixed-status families, even if some of its members are otherwise eligible to apply and participate in the program under the Act;
Require all noncitizen family members’ immigration statuses to be verified in USCIS’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (“SAVE”) Program, regardless of whether each family member is applying for benefits;
Require the housing unit’s leaseholder (i.e., the head of household) to be verified as eligible through the SAVE Program, regardless of whether he/she is applying for benefits; and
Institute additional documentation requirements for all applicants, including U.S. citizens and seniors.
