HUD's new English-only policy eliminates translated housing materials, making it more difficult for millions of non-English-speaking residents to secure housing. This policy withdraws critical resources previously available in over 200 languages, impacting essential information on housing rights and assistance programs. The change disproportionately affects immigrants, refugees, and elder residents who struggle with English. Critics argue this decision undermines decades of progress in housing access and inclusion, effectively creating barriers for non-English speakers in attaining stable housing and upward mobility. The claim of promoting unity through a single language is viewed as silencing diverse voices.
