Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would change federal housing law so that housing assistance is not paid on a prorated (partial) basis to families with mixed immigration status; instead, aid would wait until every family member, of any age, has eligibility established and verified. It would bar Community Development Block Grant funds from fiscal year 2024 onward from assisting people who are neither U.S. nationals nor lawful permanent residents. It would bar the Secretary from giving these grants to states, local governments, nonprofits, other entities, or tribes that run housing or community development programs serving such persons. It would also bar CDBG and HOME grants to governments or entities that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, such as declining ICE detainer requests.
