Abstract
Section 214 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980 prohibits HUD from making certain financial assistance available to persons other than United States citizens, nationals, or certain categories of eligible noncitizens. This interim rule revises HUD's regulations governing assistance to noncitizens to incorporate the recent statutory amendments made to Section 214 by the Use of Assisted Housing by Aliens Act of 1996 (``Immigration Reform Act''). This rule, however, does not amend the noncitizen requirements for Indian Housing Authorities (IHAs). Further, this rule does not implement the provisions of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (``Welfare Reform Act'') which concern immigration. The changes to HUD regulations required by that Act will be the subject of future rulemaking.
