Recognizing that stable housing keeps families together.

This House resolution states that housing is a fundamental human right and that families with mixed immigration status should be able to keep receiving prorated housing benefits and living together in public housing and Section 8 housing. It condemns a proposed HUD rule that would bar mixed-status families from receiving prorated assistance and calls on the HUD Secretary to withdraw that rule. It asks the Government Accountability Office to report on the proposal's effects on family separation, homelessness, and housing affordability. It also calls on Congress to increase funding for Housing Choice Vouchers and Housing First programs. As a resolution, it states the House's position and does not change law.
