A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution, introduced by Mrs. Ramirez and several colleagues, addresses the impact of the Trump administration's proposal regarding mixed-status families and housing. The text argues that stable housing is a fundamental human right and essential for family well-being. It specifically opposes a proposed rule that would prohibit families with mixed immigration status from receiving prorated benefits or living together in federal housing programs. The resolution seeks to protect families from forced separation, eviction, or homelessness. Finally, it calls for increased funding for housing programs and asks for the withdrawal of the specific rule in question.
