Collaboration to Prioritize American Citizens

The collaboration between the Departments of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Homeland Security (DHS) focuses on evicting illegal aliens from public housing and ensuring taxpayer dollars are allocated to American citizens. This initiative stems from a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by HUD Secretary Scott Turner and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, which aims to revise previous policies that allowed illegal aliens to access public housing resources. With approximately 12 million illegal aliens residing in the U.S., the program highlights the need to restrict housing benefits to citizens and safeguard taxpayer money. These efforts include improved data sharing and financial controls to identify and remove ineligible residents from HUD programs.
