The long waiting lists for existing public housing units illustrate that many eligible persons are not currently receiving needed assistance. Given the limitations on the amount of funds available for Federal housing programs. I see no reason why assistance should be provided to illegal aliens to the detriment of otherwise eligible lowincome families. The bill I have introduced would correct this problem by amending section 214 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980. This legislation would prohibit the Secretary of HUD from making financial assistance available for the benefit of any alien unless he or she is a resident of the United States and is lawfully present in the United States.
