Bill Summary · ACR 103

Summary — ACR 103 (2025): Condemning HUD rule proposal affecting mixed‑status families in federally‑subsidized housing

Main purpose

ACR 103 is a concurrent resolution that formally condemns a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) proposed rule (84 F.R. 20589; published May 10, 2019) that would restrict mixed‑status families from residing in certain federally‑subsidized housing. The resolution urges federal leaders to invest in affordable housing rather than adopt rules that could displace families and increase administrative burdens.

Key provisions / findings in the resolution

  • Identifies the HUD proposed rule and summarizes its principal effects:
    • Would prohibit “mixed‑status” households (households including both immigrants who are eligible and those who are ineligible for housing assistance) from living in certain HUD‑assisted housing.
    • Would require immigration‑status screening (via the DHS Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements — SAVE) for residents under age 62.
    • Would allow eviction of families with members deemed “ineligible” within 18 months.
  • Reiterates current federal law practice: families with an ineligible member may remain in subsidized housing if the subsidy is reduced to exclude the ineligible person.
  • Cites HUD’s own analysis that more than 55,000 children (U.S. citizens or otherwise eligible) could face eviction under the proposed rule.
  • Notes HUD’s analysis that displacing mixed‑status families could raise subsidy costs (since mixed families currently receive prorated subsidies), potentially costing “millions” and forcing reductions in the quantity or quality of assisted housing.
  • Describes administrative impacts: increased burden on public housing authorities and private owners of Section 8 properties (more staff, eviction processing, compliance work), diverting resources from maintenance and resident services.
  • Calls on the President and Congress to prioritize investments in affordable housing for families of modest means regardless of immigration status, instead of implementing the proposed rule.
  • Directs transmission of copies of the resolution to federal officials and congressional leaders (intended to communicate the Legislature’s position to the federal government).

Who would be affected

  • Directly affected (as identified by the resolution): mixed‑status families living in HUD‑assisted housing, including an estimated 55,000+ children at risk of displacement.
  • Indirectly affected: public housing authorities, private owners of federally subsidized properties (administrative and fiscal impacts), and the broader affordable housing stock (possible reduction in units or services).

Legal effect and significance

  • ACR 103 is a concurrent resolution — symbolic and nonbinding. It does not change state or federal law.
  • Its principal effect is policy signaling: it records the Legislature’s formal opposition to the HUD proposed rule and urges federal action (increased housing investment) and informs federal leaders of the Legislature’s position.

Procedural / timeline notes

  • Introduced: June 25, 2025 (referred to the Assembly Oversight, Reform and Federal Relations Committee).
  • Committee and floor actions in July–August 2025; adopted by the Legislature (multiple committee approvals, ordered to third reading, placed on consent calendar).
  • Enrolled and filed with Secretary of State: September 5, 2025; chaptered as Resolution Chapter 166, Statutes of 2025.
  • Fiscal committee: none required (no state fiscal effect stated).

This resolution documents the Legislature’s opposition to the HUD proposal and asks federal leaders to pursue alternative policies to protect affordable housing access for families, including those with mixed immigration status.
