Trump's housing secretary moves to end 'days of illegal aliens, ineligibles, and fraudsters gaming the system' | Fortune
""Under President Trump's leadership, the days of illegal aliens, ineligibles, and fraudsters gaming the system and riding the coattails of American taxpayers are over," HUD Secretary Scott Turner said in a statement.. "HUD's proposed rule will guarantee that all residents in HUD-funded housing are eligible tenants. We have zero tolerance for pushing aside hardworking U.S. citizens while enabling others to exploit decades-old loopholes.""
""Our country can ensure that every one of us, no matter where we come from or what language we speak, has a safe home,""
""Instead, Trump is trying to evict immigrant families, citizen and non-citizen, from HUD housing.""
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed a rule limiting HUD-funded public housing to citizens and eligible noncitizens. The rule would require every resident in HUD-funded housing to show proof of citizenship or eligible status, including residents 62 and older who previously only had to show proof of age. The measure would bar mixed-status families from HUD housing and could lead to tens of thousands of evictions. The proposal mirrors a previously proposed rule from the first Trump administration and aligns with conservative policy priorities referenced in Project 2025. Housing advocates criticized the proposal as targeting immigrant families.
