CVH STATEMENT ON HUD DIRECTIVE ORDERING CITIZENSHIP VERIFICATION

CVH Statement on the HUD Directive ordering immediate citizenship verification for tenants in federally funded housing nationwide:


"This HUD directive is a blatant attack on our communities and will only push more people into homelessness – especially here in New York City, where shelters are full and rents are skyrocketing.


Rolling this out in the middle of winter, as a major storm hits, only deepens the harm, adding stress and fear to families who are already struggling to stay housed and safe.


Much of what HUD frames as “eligibility verification" issues is the result of longstanding federal data quality failures, not tenant fraud. Yet tenants are the ones being punished.


Fear is the goal here, and intimidation is the tactic. Criminalizing and displacing vulnerable tenants is not housing policy – it’s cruelty dressed up as enforcement."

Got into Block Blast recently and it scratches that same itch as Tetris but with its own twist. The block-fitting mechanic is simple to pick up but getting high scores takes some actual strategy. Good for short sessions when you have a few minutes to kill.

Fighting game ragdoll hit is full of action and is built on physics. It will make you laugh, scream, and cheer all at the same time! You can handle shaky, floppy ragdoll warriors and attack your opponents with strong attacks. It may look like the controls are easy, but getting good at them is very difficult!
