Housing & Immigrants

Eligible non-citizens • Lawful permanent residents (LPRs) • Refugees and asylees • Persons granted withholding of removal • Persons eligible for registry • Victims of trafficking

Mixed households • If one member of the household is a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, the household may apply for Section 8 or project based housing • Housing assistance will be pro-rated based on the number of eligible of household members

Public Charge • Until now used primarily to determine admissibility, e.g. whether someone seeking LPR status would be granted • Also did not apply to housing programs or food assistance programs, only cash assistance, i.e. TANF, GA, SSI • New proposed Executive Order – would expand to include housing and food assistance programs – would also potentially affect people who are already LPRs
