HUD May End Support For Mixed-Status Immigrant Households

April 18, 2026 Eliana Perozo, Next City. , , ,
Families with mixed immigration status may soon lose support from the Trump-era Department of Housing and Urban Development. In February, the agency announced a proposed rule that would prohibit “mixed-status” families, which include U.S. citizens and people without legal immigration status, from living in public and other subsidized housing. HUD proposed a similar rule in 2019 that was ultimately blocked after receiving over 30,000 comments during the public comment period, with more than 95% of the comments in opposition to the rule. Now housing advocates are back at it again, with just days left to submit comments in hopes of stopping this rule.

Tech Bro Think Tank Is Trying To Roll Back Homelessness Policy

January 20, 2026 Garrett L. Grainger, Truthout. , , ,
Last fall, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) nearly triggered a homelessness disaster of its own making. A rush of policy changes that were rolled out with almost no warning and even less guidance threatened to push up to 170,000 formerly unhoused Americans out of stable housing. The strangest part? Much of this upheaval traces back to a little-known think tank that was born in Silicon Valley. The Cicero Institute, created by tech investor Joe Lonsdale, has spent the past few years promoting aggressive policies targeting encampments for the unhoused and pushing cities to move away from Housing First, the U.S.’s primary model for responding to chronic homelessness.

Homelessness Providers Stuck In Limbo Awaiting Federal Funds

January 12, 2026 Roshan Abraham, Next City. , , ,
The federal government’s largest pool of funds for housing homeless people continues to face uncertainty a year into the second Trump administration. On Nov. 13, 2025, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for its Continuum of Care (CoC) Program, allocating $3.9 billion of competitive federal grants to shelters, permanent supportive housing and other responses to homelessness. At the same time, HUD said it would not renew two-year awards that were approved by Congress in 2024. The grant funds all have different start dates, but renewals were set to start in January, with funds disbursed throughout 2026.
