A joint HUD and DHS audit found close to 200,000 tenants whose eligibility paperwork was spotty or missing entirely. That was the setup. Trump HUD Sec. Scott Turner says the flow of taxpayer housing money to people who shouldn't get it is over, with as much as $218 MILLION a year that had been going to ineligible individuals and undocumented immigrants. HUD figures roughly 24,000 fraudsters and ineligibles were sitting in 20,000 mixed status households. Under the new rule, every single resident in HUD-funded housing has to show citizenship or eligible status. Turner has been hammering this since he got the job, and for housing affordability it's a solid win for Americans
