住房与城市发展部定版资格核验终局规则 HUD资助住房只限美国公民与合资格非公民
美国住房与城市发展部（HUD）11月10日在华盛顿宣布，部长 Scott Turner 已定版《资格核验》（Verification of Eligible Status）终局规则，保证只有美国公民和部分合资格非公民能够住进 HUD 资助的住房。
新规强化了 HUD 对法律的执行：受规则覆盖的 HUD 项目，全部申请人与住户都必须核验美国公民身份或合资格移民身份，现住在「混合身份」家庭中的住户也包括在内。自称美国公民的人必须提供适当证件，自称具有合资格移民身份的人必须提交证据供核验。
HUD 表示，该部与国土安全部（DHS）对全部 HUD 受助家庭做过一次审计，查出近20万名住户的资格核验资料不完整或不明；HUD 资助的住房目前只能服务四分之一有需要的合资格家庭。
部长 Scott Turner 说，特朗普总统早已警告，非法移民与不合格非公民利用政府福利项目的日子将要结束；让美国的无家可归退伍军人、残障人士、长者与家庭暴力受害者在等待名单上苦等、同时有人钻制度的空子，是不可接受的，美国纳税人不会再为此买单。
HUD 表示，这项定版是落实特朗普总统《结束纳税人补贴开放边境》行政令的一步。此前在部长 Scott Turner 任内，HUD 已与国土安全部签署备忘录共享数据、查出不合格的受助人并采取执法行动；已修改联邦住房管理局（FHA）居住要求，FHA 担保贷款只发给美国公民，非永久居民的 FHA 贷款占比已降至接近零；已要求各公共住房机构核验全部住户的公民身份，否则将失去相关资金；还开通了犯罪举报热线，供举报 HUD 资助住房内的违法活动。

HUD Finalizes Verification of Eligible Status Rule: HUD-Funded Housing Limited to U.S. Citizens and Eligible Noncitizens
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced in Washington on November 10 that Secretary Scott Turner has finalized the Verification of Eligible Status rule, guaranteeing that only American citizens and certain eligible noncitizens will reside in HUD-funded housing.
The rule strengthens HUD's enforcement of the law by requiring verification of U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status for all applicants and tenants in covered HUD programs, including tenants currently living in mixed-status households. Individuals who declare U.S. citizenship must provide appropriate documentation, and individuals declaring eligible immigration status must submit evidence for verification.
HUD said an audit it conducted with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of all HUD-assisted households identified nearly 200,000 tenants with incomplete or unknown eligibility verification, and that HUD-funded housing serves only a quarter of eligible households in need.
Secretary Scott Turner said President Trump had warned that the days of illegal aliens and ineligible noncitizens exploiting government-funded welfare programs would be over, and that it is unacceptable for America's homeless veterans, disabled, elderly and victims of domestic violence to languish on waitlists while others scam the system, adding that American taxpayers will no longer foot the bill.
HUD said the final rule builds on President Trump's Executive Order, Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders. Under Secretary Turner, HUD has signed a data-sharing memorandum with DHS to identify ineligible recipients and take enforcement action; revised Federal Housing Administration (FHA) residency requirements so FHA-backed loans go only to American citizens, with loans for non-permanent residents falling to nearly zero percent; required public housing authorities to validate the citizenship status of all tenants or risk losing funding; and launched a crime-reporting hotline for HUD-funded housing.
