At Mass Union’s Fall 2025 convention, tenants voted on our policy priorities. Our #1 priority: to protect immigrants in public housing. On February 20, 2026, The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published a proposed change to federal regulations, denying federally subsidized housing to certain immigrants in “mixed-status” families. For decades, federal law has allowed these families to live in federal public housing. This change is just a proposal – it is not in effect.
Mass Union and our allies will be fighting back against this proposal so that no family in our community has to choose between homelessness and separation. Join us on March 6 at 11am to learn more and get involved! We will:

***FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE***
Tenant and Immigrant Rights Groups Condemn Proposed HUD Rule Change Targeting Immigrant Families
(NEW YORK, NY) — Greater Boston Legal Services, LatinoJustice PRLDEF, The Legal Aid Society, Massachusetts Law Reform Institute, the Massachusetts Union of Public Housing Tenants, and the National Housing Law Project together issued the following statement condemning the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) new proposal that targets families with mixed immigration status and will put tens of thousands of households at risk of losing their homes:
“No matter where we come from, how long we’ve lived here, or what language we speak, our country has the resources to ensure everyone has a safe place to call home. But HUD’s cruel and unlawful proposal is a direct attack on immigrants, families, and people who rely on housing assistance.
“For decades, federal law has allowed families with mixed immigration statuses to remain housed together, with aid prorated for eligible members — especially U.S. citizen children. This new proposal abandons that long-standing approach and instead forces families into an impossible choice: separation or homelessness.
“HUD’s own data acknowledges the rule will displace tens of thousands of families – including nearly 37,000 children, the majority of whom are U.S. citizens – while costing hundreds of millions of dollars and doing nothing to address the nation’s housing crisis. Instead, it punishes children, destabilizes communities, and guarantees less affordable housing for everyone because of its anticipated costs.
“This proposal raises serious legal and constitutional concerns and threatens to cause irreparable harm to families who have lawfully relied on existing housing protections for years. We are closely reviewing the policy and exploring all available legal avenues to keep families whole, together, and housed.
“No family should lose their home because of a member’s immigration status. We stand with the families, tenants, and communities who will be harmed by this unjust proposal and remain committed to fighting for safe, stable housing for all.”

Mass Union is deeply saddened by ICE attacks on people everywhere, including in public housing. We are horrified that ICE has entered some public housing developments. Here are some resources and ideas for tenants who wish to protect each other.
