Recognizing that stable housing keeps families together.

Sponsored By: Representative Ramirez, Delia C. [D-IL-3]

Introduced

Summary

Recognize stable housing as a fundamental human right. This resolution would say safe, affordable housing is essential to family well‑being and oppose HUD rules that would bar mixed‑status families from federal housing help.

Show full summary
  • Mixed‑status families: Argues HUD's proposed "Verification of Eligible Status" rule would deny eligible people who live with ineligible family members access to housing subsidies and could force eviction, family separation, or homelessness.
  • U.S. citizen children and HUD tenants: Says removing mixed‑status families would reduce overall affordable housing and harm U.S. citizen children and other tenants who live with family members of different immigration statuses.
  • Federal policy and oversight: Urges Congress and the Administration to increase funding for Housing Choice Vouchers and Housing First programs and requests a Government Accountability Office report on the rule's effects.
  • HUD accountability: Condemns HUD leadership for policies seen as threatening family unity and calls on the HUD Secretary to withdraw the proposed rule.
