Mixed-status families are households that include both members who are eligible and ineligible for housing assistance based on their immigration status. Both statute and regulation allow families to live together in subsidized housing even if one family member is ineligible so long as the housing subsidy is decreased to exclude the ineligible person from the assistance. Importantly, just because a household member is an&nbsp;\u201cineligible\u201d immigrant, it doesn\u2019t mean that they are undocumented. Immigrants can have legal status and still not be eligible&nbsp;for public housing and Section 8 programs.<br \/><br \/>The rule would further require all residents under the age of 62 to have their immigration status screened through the Systematic&nbsp;Alien Verification for Entitlements Program (SAVE), which is operated by the Department of Homeland Security. Families&nbsp;with members who are deemed \u201cineligible\u201d will be evicted from subsidized housing after 18 months or sooner.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>   HUD Secretary Ben Carson continues to set and seek policies geared to make life more difficult for United States society&#8217;s most vulnerable residents #p2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"New HUD policy would separate immigrant families living together in their own homes #p2","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1,1082,2110],"tags":[520,2705,67,2706],"class_list":["post-11926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all","category-dei","category-latino","tag-housing","tag-hud","tag-immigrant","tag-separate-families"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewei.com\/kimi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewei.com\/kimi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewei.com\/kimi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewei.com\/kimi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewei.com\/kimi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11926"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/thewei.com\/kimi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11926\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11932,"href":"https:\/\/thewei.com\/kimi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11926\/revisions\/11932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewei.com\/kimi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewei.com\/kimi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewei.com\/kimi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
