YWCA USA Opposes HUD's Proposed Rule on HCDA Act Verification of Eligibility Status

YWCA USA submits these comments on the Proposed Rule published at 84 FR 20589 (May 10, 2019), RIN 2501-AD89, HUD Docket No. FR-6124-P-01, with the title, “Housing and Community Development Act of 1980: Verification of Eligible Status” (the “Proposed Rule” or “Rule”). Based on our extensive subject matter expertise in the areas of child care, housing, and domestic and sexual violence, and informed by our extensive experience working with immigrant women and families, YWCA USA urges the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) to withdraw the Rule in its entirety and to ensure that HUD’s long-standing regulations remain in effect.
