Ben Carson Wants To Evict Families With Undocumented Immigrants From Public Housing
Groups who work with landlords, housing authorities, and tenants say HUD’s new proposal is trying to address a problem that doesn’t exist when it comes to undocumented immigrants, while at the same time failing to address the very real public housing shortage.
Some 25,000 households in public housing buildings or who use rental assistance vouchers are mixed-status, according to NLIHC, meaning at least one member of the family is a US citizen, permanent resident, or refugee, and at least one member is undocumented. The majority of mixed-status families are in Texas, New York and California, according to NLIHC. The proposed rule would mean that those families’ public housing aid would be revoked if an undocumented family member continues to live there.
Undocumented people already don’t qualify for public housing assistance, and under current law, all applicants must be US citizens or documented residents and go through an immigration screening process. Families with undocumented members receive partial subsidies that only cover the members of their family who are citizens or documented, but can live with them in the same home.
Low-income housing groups say that despite Carson’s rhetoric, the rule would make little or no dent in the severe national public housing shortage, which leaves millions of families on waitlists for affordable places to live. In some parts of the nation, like Miami and New York, the waitlist is years long and many families who would qualify can’t even get on the list.
