Re: HUD Docket No FR-6124-P-01, RIN 2501-AD89 Comments in Response to Proposed Rulemaking: Housing and Community Development Act of 1980: Verification of Eligible Status
To whom it may concern:
On behalf of the Minnesota Housing Partnership, thank you for the opportunity to provide comments in response to the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) proposed rule regarding "verification of eligible status," published in the Federal Register on May 10, 2019 (RIN 2501- D89: HUD Docket No FR-6124-P-01). We express our strong opposition to this proposed rule, urge that it be withdrawn in its entirety, and that HUD's long-standing regulations remain in place.
“I’m sure everyone in the audience remembers what it’s like to be a teen,” said Eden Prairie High School student Amal Adam to a rapt audience on June 21. “You are juggling a hectic life, balancing your social life, academics, and even college applications. Imagine throwing into that mix the struggle of trying to find a home. It can have an impact for years to come, which is why this is an issue that needs to be addressed immediately.”
