AG Bonta and AG James co-lead coalition of 22 AGs in opposing federal efforts to strip housing support for mixed-status immigrant households

Published Date: Apr 21, 2026

AG ​Bonta co-led a coalition of 22 AGs in submitting a comment letter opposing a proposed rule by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that would prohibit mixed-status families — families comprised of at least one eligible individual and one or more individuals who are ineligible due to their immigration status — from living in public housing and from receiving other federal housing assistance, including Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) and project-based rental assistance. Attorney General Bonta and the coalition urge withdrawal of the proposal because it jeopardizes California families’ access to basic housing, increases burdens on state agencies, and undermines state laws and programs.
