This proposed rule is yet another extreme anti-immigrant move. It punishes citizens and families—undocumented people are already ineligible for housing assistance. There's still time to fight it, and we'll be rallying Bay Area partners to do just that in the days and weeks to come.

No matter where we come from or how long we’ve lived here, our country has the $$$ to ensure that all of us have a safe place to call home. But Trump’s HUD wants to tear families apart & worsen the housing crisis. NHLP's Marie Claire Tran-Leung talked to @motherjones.com about their cruel plan.

Graphic with Mother Jones logo at the top. Below reads the article title and subhead “When Home Isn’t Safe: Immigration Enforcement Meets Housing Discrimination. What we’re seeing is people are terrified, and it’s deliberate.” by Katehrine Dailey. There is more text that reads: As the law now stands, any assistance received by these families is prorated based on how many family members are eligible. But the Department of Housing and Urban Development under President Trump is seeking to end this policy, re-upping a rule that he had proposed in 2019 during his first administration. The policy is currently under review by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, but if enacted, it would require that all members of a household must be eligible for housing assistance, or the entire household would be disqualified. It also reads: “What differentiates then from now is the very aggressive and lawless nature of their deportation and general anti-immigrant agenda,” said Marie Claire Tran-Leung, evictions initiative project director at the National Housing Law Project. She added that all families are being forced to calculate their risks—whether they live in subsidized housing or not.

Community Advisory Council member Anthony Carrasco took the homelessness funding fight to The Tennessean, framing it as a constitutional issue and urging Congress to act. And it worked. Lawmakers safeguarded CoC funds. Read the op-ed here: tennessean.com/story/opinio...

Crystal faced a negligent landlord. Angelo faced skyrocketing rent. Both were at risk of homelessness, until they found Keep People Housed–Oakland. Since 2018, the program has supported 7k+ households, with 93% still housed a year later. 🏡 Prevention works. 💪🏼

HUD withdrew the CoC NOFO—but the threat to federal homelessness funding isn’t over. We’ve created two new resources to help stakeholders understand what’s coming and what’s at stake: • A CoC NOFO fact sheet • A regional data spotlight with interactive maps

"Narrative strategy and smart storytelling are not icing on the cake of advocacy and social change work, they are the leavening in the mix. Without them, all the other good things we're doing just won't rise." Read our blog post with @nphanc.bsky.social: ncg.org/news/campaig...
