Letter to HUD Opposing Rule on Verification of Eligible Status

April 21, 2026

NAELA joined the Consortium for Constituents with Disabilities (CCD) Housing Task Force in expressing strong opposition to the proposed rule from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), “Housing and Community Development Act of 1980: Verification of Eligible Status.” HUD’s proposed rule is contrary to Congressional intent to preserve households and would harm individuals with disabilities by forcing them to choose between housing and the supports that enable them to stay in the community.
