Housing Secretary Ben Carson advanced his plan Friday to make it harder for undocumented immigrants to live in federally subsidized housing, a move his agency estimated would also displace some 76,000 legal residents or citizens – including 55,000 children who are in the country legally.
“The administration’s proposal would break up families and cause thousands of citizens and eligible immigrants to lose their homes,” said Bob Greenstein, president of the left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, in a statement. The amount of housing assistance is then prorated based on the number of people in a household who qualify.
According to an agency analysis of the rule, first reported by The Washington Post and confirmed by ABC News, the rule is expected to drive out of the program some 25,000 families whose members have"mixed" legal status. The analysis found that among these families, 76,141 people in these families are eligible for assistance and that 73 percent of those eligible members -- roughly 55,000-- are an infant, child or teen under 17 who is in the country legally and qualifies for assistance.
