Co-sponsored by: Fund for Housing and Opportunity and Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees

As our immigrant neighbors are being systemically targeted by the federal administration, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has plans to reintroduce the Mixed Status Families Rule regulation that would force U.S. citizen children and their families out of public housing if any member lacked legal status due to loss of housing assistance. 

Current law already prorates federal housing subsidies for “mixed-status” families so that ineligible immigrants do not receive those subsidies. However, much like during the first Trump administration, this proposed rule aims to block all such families from public housing, forcing some to choose between housing or keeping their family together.

This policy call, co-hosted by Fund for Housing and Opportunity and Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees, provides participants more information about the proposed change, how community-based leaders are responding, and how philanthropy can leverage its voice through comments on the regulation and grantmaking as part of the campaign against this harmful proposal.

Learning Objectives

• Gain understanding of the proposed mixed status rule and how it impacts your community
• Hear about the various strategies and tactics organizers and advocates are engaged in to block the proposed rule
• Learn how philanthropy can take action to support and protect immigrant neighbors from losing access to the basic need of a home
