Under Executive Order 14218, including the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996 (PRWORA), verification for direct benefit Housing and Urban Development (HUD) projects must demonstrate eligibility for assistance by:
• Submitting evidence of citizenship or eligible immigration status for each member of the household regardless of age, to qualify for assistance under HUD programs to your agency; and • Declaring and attesting to U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status. For U.S. citizens, sign a declaration of citizenship and for noncitizens, sign a declaration of eligible immigration status, along with proof of age or other documentation.
CDBG and HOME funded activities that provide direct benefit to households and individuals, including but not limited to housing rehabilitation, public services, or job creation activities, require operating agencies, except eligible nonprofit organizations as program subrecipients, to verify the legal status of those receiving the service. Please implement the Citizenship Declaration Form (Attachment I) and keep it in your participant files. The Declaration Form and supporting evidence must be available upon request.
This guidance may be superseded with future directives provided by HUD or County Counsel.
If you have any questions, please contact your assigned Management Analyst.
Sincerely,
tinda Jenkins
