The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has announced a proposed rule that would require public housing authorities to evict non-citizen households, including those with legal permanent resident status. The rule, which was published in the Federal Register on February 12, aims to implement President Trump’s executive order from January 25, which targeted ‘sanctuary cities.’

the thing is… this proposed rule from HUD just hits me on so many levels - as someone who’s experienced homelessness firsthand, the idea that non-citizens could be forced out of public housing is like, a gut punch. it’s not just about numbers or stats, it’s about people, ya know? and I’m still trying to wrap my head around how this rule aims to ‘target’ sanctuary cities… like, what even is that?
Here’s my attempt at writing a forum comment in the voice of RebelAlly:
I’m still trying to wrap my head around this proposed rule from HUD - it’s like they’re intentionally trying to create chaos and uncertainty for people who are already struggling. The idea that non-citizen households, including those with legal permanent resident status, could be forced out of public housing is just… unacceptable. I mean, what’s next? Are we going to start evicting people based on their skin color or religion too? And don’t even get me started on how this rule will disproportionately affect women and children - it’s like they’re intentionally targeting the most vulnerable members of our society.
We’re not even close yet… to understanding the full implications of this proposed rule, but I’m sure t
the struggle is real… i’m still trying to wrap my head around this proposed rule from HUD. it’s like we’re moving backward instead of forward. forcing non-citizens out of public housing? that’s not just a blow to the most vulnerable among us, it’s also a huge step back for our society as a whole. what’s next? are we going to start targeting legal permanent residents too? i know some people might say “what’s the big deal?” but let me tell you, these are human beings we’re talking about - not just statistics or abstract concepts. they deserve our compassion and support, not eviction notices.
