Update · Nov 11, 2026

A federal housing rule filed on Tuesday, Nov. 10 will require everyone living in a subsidized home — at any age — to prove U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status, starting Monday, Dec. 14; nothing changes before that date. If a notice reaches you, the housing office is required to tell you that you may ask for up to 60 days to produce documents, so ask in writing and keep your own dated copy. TPS for Haiti and Syria is unchanged — terminated, effective July 27, 2026, and work permits expired the same day. Losing TPS is still not a deportation order. Always confirm on the official USCIS page, never social media. See what changed →

Get your family ready. It takes one afternoon.

Getting ready is not giving up — it is how you keep your family together. TPS for Haiti and Syria was terminated, effective July 27, 2026, and TPS work permits expired the same day. Losing TPS is not a deportation order: removal still takes a legal process in which you have rights. These tools put what you already know onto one page you can print, so the people you trust can act if you cannot.
