HUD Ends FHA Mortgages and Public Housing Access for Illegal Immigrants

The Trump administration fully implements measures to prioritize American citizens in federally funded housing programs, citing the U.S. housing crisis and taxpayer burden.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has terminated FHA-backed mortgages for illegal immigrants, ensuring federal home loans benefit American citizens.
An interagency Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HUD and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been implemented to prevent illegal immigrants from accessing public housing resources.
The initiative includes data-sharing mechanisms and compliance enforcement to identify and address the misuse of housing programs by illegal immigrants.
HUD cited data showing 59% of illegal immigrant households use at least one welfare program, costing taxpayers an estimated $42 billion annually.
The administration frames the policy as a response to the U.S. housing crisis and a broader effort to discourage illegal immigration and safeguard taxpayer resources.
