Why Is HUD Attacking Its Own Proposed Rule to Bar Illegal Aliens from Housing Assistance?
By Andrew Kloster on July 9, 2019
The federal government provides various types of housing subsidies to low-income households. Over the past few years, the largest of these programs, the Housing Choice Voucher program, has received over $22 billion annually. All told, these programs under Section 214 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980 receive over $30 billion per year. Administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the programs seek to help bolster community cohesion, ameliorate income inequality, and smooth macroeconomic transitions like those occurring in many areas of the country. Whatever one's opinion of the merits of these programs, they do represent the considered will of Congress and the American people, seeking to strike a pragmatic balance between American compassion and fiscal oversight.
