Trump’s proposal to kick over 20,000 immigrant families out of HUD housing is part of the administration’s campaign to scapegoat our neighbors for the housing crisis. We need HUD to focus on real solutions that work for us all instead of sowing fear and division.

Trump’s HUD is trying to kick 20,000 immigrant families out of their housing.

Josefina’s is one of them. After living in Los Angeles for eighteen years, HUD may now force them to make an impossible choice.

We have one more week to take action. Join us at keep-families-together.org

Square graphic featuring a photo of Clarence Mitchell Jr. and President Johnson upon the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Quote from HISTORY.com reads: “A major force behind passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 was the NAACP’s Washington director, Clarence Mitchell Jr. His organizing proved so effective in pushing through legislation that he was referred to as the “101st senator.”” Additional text reads: “Step by step, we’re building a multiracial democracy, where everyone has the freedom to live free from discrimination.” Banner on bottom reads “Fair Housing Month” and shows the logo of the National Housing Law Project.

This month marks 58 years since the passage of the Fair Housing Act: the long-fought for promise that our government will protect our freedom to live in a safe and stable home, no matter what we look like, where we come from, or who we love.

Graphic has dark blue border on white background. Bloomberg Law’s logo is at the top middle. The NHLP logo sits at the bottom. The title of the article and author name are below: “US Citizen Kids at Risk of Losing Housing Support Under HUD Plan by Andrew Kreighbaum.”

Text reads: “The housing agency’s proposal, though, acknowledges that almost half of the people expected to lose benefits are children of immigrants, nearly all of them born in the US. It would force about 20,000 families to consider separating or leaving public housing with few alternatives available, advocates say.

“The administration might argue they can stay in public housing if that family member leaves,” said Marie Claire Tran-Leung, a senior staff attorney at the National Housing Law Project. “That’s not realistic—especially if the people with status are children.””

If Trump’s HUD proposal passes, thousands of families would be forced to separate - or leave their homes altogether. NHLP’s Senior Attorney Marie Claire Tran-Leung spoke with @bloomberglaw.com about the impact this will have on immigrant families and citizen children.

Trump’s budget is a slash-and-burn attack on the programs that keep us housed, fed, and healthy - but it’s all talk and no action on any real affordability solutions. Congress, we urge you to do your part and fight for a budget that delivers for poor and working families.

The changes this proposal wants to make will impact everyone in HUD housing by forcing them to jump through new, higher hoops to keep their housing – including running their personal data through the error-prone SAVE System.

Del Island apartments provided some of Coronado’s only affordable housing until its new corporate landlords began displacing tenants, neglecting repairs, and taking away affordability. NHLP, Affordable Housing Advocates, and Public Interest Law Project are taking them to court.

Trump’s HUD tried to eliminate the 2024 Eviction Prevention Rule, a crucial protection for tenants in HUD housing. But we shut them down, and now we’re thrilled to announce this case closed… for now! If HUD wants to continue the fight, we're ready to keep families housed.

Graphic has dark blue border on white background. Newsweek’s logo is at the top middle. The NHLP logo sits at the bottom. The title of the article and author name are below: “Millions of Americans at Risk From Eviction Rule Change by Hugh Cameron.”

Text reads: “A significant number of low-income renters in the U.S. could soon face faster evictions following a federal housing change that will shorten the period of protection for tenants at risk. But tenant rights advocates are now suing HUD over the change, arguing that its enforcement—only 30 days after the announcement—bypasses the required public comment period.

Hannah Adams, senior staff attorney for the National Housing Law Project, said: “We’re fighting back to ensure we have enough time to provide input on a rule that will affect nearly 4 million poor and working people.””
