The federal government is now taking “direct and forceful action” to prevent illegal aliens from accessing taxpayer-funded public housing.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced the launch of a clampdown on Friday.
“The beginning of the end for illegals living in taxpayer-funded housing starts now,” HUD Sec. Scott Turner stated in a social media post which included a letter delivered to more than 3,000 Public Housing Authorities (PHA) across the U.S.
Sec. Turner is directing all PHAs to submit a “full and comprehensive accounting of all tenants who are receiving a Section 8 voucher and/or residing in HUD-funded housing” within 30 days of receipt of the letter.
“HUD is requiring the name, mailing address, number of bedrooms, the cost of the unit, and proof of American citizenship or eligible immigration status as defined by the law.”
Turner says the D.C. Housing Authority is the first PHA being scrutinized, but all PHAs are expected to comply in the coming weeks.
“No longer will illegal aliens be able to leave citizenship boxes blank or take advantage of HUD-funded housing, riding the coattails of hardworking American citizens,” Turner stated.
“Currently, HUD only serves one out of four eligible families due, in part, to the lack of enforcement of prohibition against federally funded assistance to illegal aliens. HUD will leverage all available enforcement actions against entities who do not comply with the request for citizenship information, including, but not limited to, examination of HUD funding and/or evaluation of PHA program eligibility.”
More than 3.2 million households across the U.S. receive HUD funding at a cost of more than $45 billion per year.
