“Under the Trump administration, HUD has adopted a rhetorical strategy of conflating federal data quality issues with evidence of fraud, waste, and abuse in local communities,” @nlihc.org CEO Renee Willis said.
HUD Gives Landlords 30 Days To Prove Nearly 200,000 Tenants Are U.S. Citizens
An internal audit uncovered nearly 200,000 tenants without legal immigrant status along with more than 20,000 deceased tenants, HUD said.

This is Minneapolis:

A neighbor sold some silver jewelry she inherited from her grandparents to cover rent for a neighbor who hasn't been able to work during these 7 weeks of federal occupation and is at risk of eviction.

We need an eviction moratorium NOW.

And resources for food delivery.

HUD is taking public comments on a proposed rule that would seriously weaken #fairhousing enforcement.

Add your name to tell HUD to withdraw the rule, fully staff the Department & enforce the law.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Chicago Freedom Movement laid the groundwork for today’s Fair Housing Act. His fight for civil rights, racial equity and housing justice will continue until we all have the freedom to care for our families and live in a safe and affordable home.

“This is not the hour to shrink. This is the hour to rise.”
Dr. Bernice King reminds us that her father warned we must learn to live together as brothers — or perish as fools.
In a time of inequality and fear, the choice is still ours: community or division, courage or despair.

Today, while trying to deflect the Trump admin’s housing failures onto immigrants, HUD Sec. Scott Turner claimed that 100% of renters are undocumented?

Where’s this energy for real enforcement? By May, ProPublica reported HUD halted/closed 115+ fair housing cases & gutted enforcement.

Sec. Turner is doing political theater & punishing cities for naming racial inequities, while letting real cases go unaddressed.

Aside from how obviously despicable this is coming from our HUD Secretary, they are talking about an average savings of $18.
