Know Your Rights: Sharing Information about Immigration Status in HUD Housing Programs
Authored By: National Housing Law Project
The sheet explains your rights when it comes to sharing your immigration status with HUD housing providers. It tells you when you are required to share your status and when you are not, what happens if not all family members are eligible for housing assistance, and how to respond if your housing provider asks for immigration information. It also lists which immigration categories qualify for HUD assistance, what information may be shared with HUD or immigration authorities, and advises you to talk to a legal aid group before giving any information if you're unsure.
