On June 25th, organized tenants in NYC - the real estate capital of the world - won a historic rent freeze. For decades, working class residents have been building a cross-racial, multiethnic, intergenerational movement for fair and stable housing.

No matter where we come from or how long we’ve lived here, we have the resources to ensure that everyone has a safe place to call home, including immigrant families and children. NHLP Exec. Director @shamusroller.bsky.social talked w/ @apnews.com’s Michael Casey about Trump’s newest housing threat:
Graphic has dark blue border on white background. AP’s logo is at the top middle. The NHLP logo sits at the bottom. The title of the article and author name are below: “HUD proposes rule that would force noncitizens from public housing by Michael Casey”

Text reads: “The measure would effectively bar mixed status families —- where some household members are eligible for help — from housing and is part of the government’s immigration crackdown. A similar rule was proposed but never finalized during the first Trump administration and is mentioned as a policy priority in the conservative blueprint Project 2025.

“Our country can ensure that every one of us, no matter where we come from or what language we speak, has a safe home,” Shamus Roller, the executive director of the National Housing Law Project said in a statement. “Instead, Trump is trying to evict immigrant families, citizen and non-citizen, from HUD housing.”
