The Department of Housing and Urban Development will conduct all agency business exclusively in English, Secretary Scott Turner said Tuesday, citing President Donald Trump’s March executive order that made English the official language of the United States. A memo distributed to senior staff on Monday directs the removal of translations and web pages in roughly 222 languages and ends contracts for interpretation services. HUD said limited exceptions will remain where other federal statutes require accommodations, including under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Violence Against Women Act. Civil-rights advocates and the union representing HUD employees contend the change conflicts with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which obliges federal agencies to offer meaningful access to people with limited English proficiency, and signaled they are preparing legal challenges. Turner also indicated the department is reviving a stalled 2019 proposal that would bar families containing undocumented members from receiving housing assistance and is drafting a rule that would cap Section 8 vouchers for able-bodied adults at two years. Supporters say the measures are aimed at curbing fraud and moving recipients toward self-sufficiency; critics warn they could displace low-income households and immigrant families.
