公共住房居民需根据住房和城市发展部新规证明移民身份 可能导致数千人流离失所

美国住房和城市发展部周四公布的一项新规要求，获得联邦资助的公共住房居民必须出示美国公民身份或合格移民身份的证明。
无党派研究与政策机构预算与政策优先中心表示，这项措施可能导致近8万人流离失所，其中包括混身份家庭中的数万公民。自1995年以来，只要联邦补贴仅覆盖合格家庭成员，混身份家庭就被允许共同居住在住房和城市发展部资助的住房内。新规可能迫使这些家庭做出选择：要么继续共同居住在非公共住房，要么拆分家庭。
“这正在撕裂家庭，制造分裂，”驱逐行动项目主任、全国住房法律项目的管理律师玛丽·克莱尔·陈-梁（Marie Claire Tran-Leung）表示。
陈-梁称，该规则此前允许混身份家庭共同居住的规定对各方都运作良好。专家表示，混身份家庭通常需支付更高比例的租金，因为其补贴按比例计算。陈-梁表示，如果这些家庭被迫离开公共住房，住房和城市发展部可能面临资金短缺。
预算与政策优先中心的数据显示，约有2万个混身份家庭，即8万人，可能受到该规则影响，其中约3.7万人是儿童，多数为美国公民。
该规则定于12月14日生效。
“特朗普总统曾警告，非法移民和不合格非公民利用政府资助的福利项目的日子将结束，”住房和城市发展部部长斯科特·特纳在一份声明中表示，”美国无家可归的退伍军人、残疾人、老年人以及家庭暴力受害者在等待名单上苦苦挣扎，而非法移民和不合格人员却在欺骗我们的制度，这是不可接受的。美国纳税人将不再承担相关费用。许下的承诺，必将兑现。”
特纳的声明称，最近的一次审计发现近20万名租户的身份资格信息不完整或未核实。目前，住房和城市发展部资助的住房仅为有需要的合格家庭中的四分之一提供服务。
全美50个州的家庭都将受到影响，其中集中在纽约、加利福尼亚和得克萨斯州。反对该规则的22个州总检察长联盟表示，该规则将影响加利福尼亚州逾7000个混身份家庭，以及纽约州2500个混身份家庭。
他们在4月的一封信中写道，这”将给各州带来重大经济损失，并加剧可负担住房危机”。
CBS新闻已联系加利福尼亚州、纽约州和得克萨斯州的住房管理部门，以了解该规则将如何在当地实施和执行。
2019年特朗普政府第一任期期间，住房和城市发展部曾试图修订这一长期存在的条款，但拟议的修正案在2021年被撤回。2026年2月，该机构重新提交了拟议规则，在三个月的评论期内收到了来自个人、倡导团体和国会议员的逾1.1万条公开评论。
公众个人也发表了反应。
居住在华盛顿州奥本公共住房的老人克莱尔·斯坦利写道：”这项规则没有任何正当理由——它不会省钱，因为无家可归人数的增加所带来的成本将超过允许家庭共同居住的成本。”
另一位评论者、威斯康星州奥康托福尔斯的马克·史密斯在3月敦促道：”请撤回这一提案，想想耶稣会怎么做。”
Public housing residents must prove immigration status under new HUD rule, possibly displacing thousands

Residents of federally funded public housing will be required to show proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status under a new rule published Thursday by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The measure could displace nearly 80,000 people, including tens of thousands of citizens in mixed-status families, from their homes, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan research and policy institute.
Since 1995, mixed-status families have been permitted to live together in HUD-funded housing as long as federal subsidies covered only eligible household members. The new rule may force these families to decide whether to remain together in nonpublic housing or split up their households.
“This is tearing apart families and sowing division,” said Marie Claire Tran-Leung, director of the Evictions Initiative Project and managing attorney at the National Housing Law Project.
The rule’s prior status, which allowed mixed-status families to live together, worked well for all parties, Tran-Leung said. Mixed-status households often paid a higher share of rent because their subsidies were prorated, experts say. If those families are forced to leave public housing, HUD will likely face financial shortfalls, Tran-Leung said.
About 20,000 mixed-status families, or 80,000 people, could be affected by the rule, CBPP’s data shows. About 37,000 of those are children, mostly U.S. citizens, CBPP said.
The rule is scheduled to take effect on Dec. 14.
“President Trump warned that the days of illegal aliens and ineligible noncitizens exploiting government-funded welfare programs would be over,” HUD Secretary Scott Turner said in a statement. “It’s unacceptable that America’s homeless veterans, disabled, elderly, and victims of domestic violence languish on waitlists while illegals and ineligibles scam our system. American taxpayers will no longer foot the bill. Promises made, promises kept.”
Turner’s statement said a recent audit identified nearly 200,000 tenants with incomplete or unverified eligibility status. Currently, HUD-funded housing serves only a quarter of eligible households in need.
Families in all 50 states will be affected, with the largest concentration in New York, California and Texas. The rule would impact more than 7,000 mixed-status households in California and 2,500 mixed-status households in New York, according to a coalition of 22 state attorneys general who opposed the rule.
They wrote in an April letter that it “would inflict significant economic costs on the States and exacerbate the affordable housing crisis.”
CBS News reached out to housing authorities in California, New York and Texas to learn how the rule would be implemented and enforced locally.
During the first Trump administration in 2019, HUD attempted to revise the longstanding provision, but the proposed change was withdrawn in 2021. In February 2026, the agency reintroduced the proposed rule, drawing more than 11,000 public comments from individuals, advocacy groups and members of Congress during the three-month comment period.
Reactions also came from individual members of the public.
Claire Stanley, a senior living in public housing in Auburn, Washington, wrote: “There is no justification for this rule — it won’t save money because the increase in homelessness will cost more than just allowing families to stay together.”
Another commenter, Mark Smith of Oconto Falls, Wisconsin, urged in March: “Please withdraw the proposal and think about what Jesus would do.”
