Trump Administration Efforts on Fair Housing and Public Charge Pose Concerns for Aging Services Providers

On January 29, 2020 by Jodi Boyne

The Trump Administration is working on three major changes in the area of affordable housing and pathways to citizenship that will weaken obligations to fair housing, lessen resources for affordable housing, and discourage older adults from receiving needed assistance.

The proposed changes include:

Changing Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) requirements, which would weaken enforcement of the Fair Housing Act,
Changing the way 85% of the banks covered by the Community Reinvestment Act meet standards to invest in low and moderate-income communities, and
Making the path to citizenship for immigrants using certain public benefits more difficult.
