PROJECT DATE: to

Using data from the 2019 to 2023 California Health Interview Survey, this study explores changes in avoidance of public programs out of fear it would impact immigration status between the Trump administration's proposed rule change and the Biden administration's rule change. It also explores changes to the relationship between avoidance of public programs and basic needs outcomes (access to care, food security, and housing security) among low-income immigrant adults.
