On June 21st, Children’s HealthWatch submitted a public comment on the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s Notice of Public Rule Making (NPRM) for “Housing and Community Development Act of 1980: Verification of Eligible Status” (HUD Docket No. FR-6124-P-01). We oppose this proposed rule that would evict mixed-status families from public and subsidized housing because thousands of children and families will become at risk of eviction, homelessness, housing instability, and/or family separations, all of which will inflict unnecessary trauma and hardship that lead to long-term negative health consequences.
