美国住房与城市发展部新规：受助住房申请人须核验公民或合格移民身份
美国住房与城市发展部11月10日发布最终规则，落实《1980年住房与社区发展法》第214条的身份核验要求。该规则将于11月12日刊登《联邦公报》（91 FR 72978），12月14日生效。部长 Scott Turner 称，这是该部门四十多年来首次全面执行这一条款。
新规要求，公共住房、第八条住房选择券等受助住房项目的所有申请人与住户，无论年龄大小，都须核验美国公民身份或合格移民身份。此前，部分年龄段住户可免于核验。
对于混合身份家庭（家庭成员身份状态不同），原先可按比例获得的援助将改为临时性安排，须在完成身份核验后才能转为长期援助。核验将通过国土安全部的 SAVE 系统进行。
住房部称，其内部审计发现受助住房中有近20万名住户的资格信息不全或状态不明。各地方住房管理机构须在规则生效后30天内，即2027年1月13日前，通知受影响的住户。
住房部表示，新规目的是确保联邦住房援助只提供给符合资格的人士，并统一全国住房管理机构的核验流程。

HUD Final Rule Requires Citizenship or Eligible Immigration Status Verification for Assisted Housing
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on November 10 issued a final rule implementing the verification requirements of Section 214 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980. The rule is published in the Federal Register on November 12 (91 FR 72978) and takes effect December 14. Secretary Scott Turner said it is the department's first full implementation of the provision in more than four decades.
The rule requires that all applicants and tenants in covered programs, including public housing and the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, have their U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status verified, regardless of age. Previously, some tenants were exempt from verification based on age.
For mixed-status households, whose members have different immigration statuses, prorated assistance becomes temporary pending verification rather than a standing arrangement. Verification will run through the Department of Homeland Security's SAVE system.
HUD said an internal audit found nearly 200,000 tenants in assisted housing with incomplete or unknown eligibility information. Public housing authorities must notify affected tenants within 30 days after the effective date, by January 13, 2027.
HUD said the rule is intended to ensure federal housing assistance goes only to eligible recipients and to standardize verification across housing authorities nationwide.
