Recognizing that stable housing keeps families together.
Sponsored By: Representative Ramirez, Delia C. [D-IL-3]
Introduced
Summary
This resolution would declare stable housing as a fundamental human right. It defines stable housing as safe, affordable, and adequate housing that lets people rest, maintain hygiene, and pursue work and education. The text focuses on protecting families, especially mixed‑status households, and pushing for big federal action on the affordability crisis.
Show full summary
- Families: Mixed‑status households would be affirmed to continue receiving prorated housing benefits and to live together in public housing and Section 8 programs without the threat of forced separation or eviction, citing the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980.
- Oversight and children: The Government Accountability Office would be directed to study the proposed HUD rule and report on effects on family separation, homelessness, and housing affordability, including impacts on U.S. citizen children.
- Policy and funding: The resolution calls on the Executive Branch and Congress to make major new investments in federal housing programs and to increase funding for Housing Choice Vouchers and Housing First initiatives. It also condemns the proposed rule and urges HUD to withdraw it, and singles out HUD leadership for advancing policies that threaten family unity.
