HUD is calling decades of housing precedent a 'loophole' — that's a lie. 😑 Mixed status families already receive less assistance & pay more rent. This rule punishes people for the crime of having a family. Tell HUD to withdraw it. 👉🏾 bit.ly/KFTrttc #HomesForAll

This proposed HUD rule is cruel, costly &  counterproductive. It would punish families & waste resources on red tape. Tell HUD to withdraw the rule & keep families together. bit.ly/KFTrttc #HomesForAll

HUD's proposed rule doesn't just hurt families — it hurts the entire federal housing system. Unsubsidized residents pay MORE rent, supporting everyone else. Kick them out and costs go up for all. Cruel & counterproductive. Comment now: bit.ly/KFTrttc #HomesForAll

🏠 Housing is a human right — for every family. Tell HUD to #KeepFamiliesTogether and stop this cruel, costly & counterproductive rule before it pushes hundreds of thousands of people toward homelessness. ➡️ bit.ly/KFTrttc #HomesForAll

No family should have to choose between being together or being housed. That's not a policy tradeoff — it's cruelty. Join us in fighting back. #KeepFamiliesTogether➡️ bit.ly/KFTrttc #HomesForAll
