End Housing Welfare for Illegal Aliens Act

This bill would bar states and local governments defined as "sanctuary jurisdictions" from receiving federal community development block grants. A sanctuary jurisdiction is one with a law or policy that limits sharing immigration status information with other governments or limits complying with federal immigration detainer or release-notification requests, with an exception for policies protecting crime victims and witnesses. The bill would also stop federal housing assistance from being given on a prorated basis to families until the eligibility of every family member, of any age, has been established and verified. It would require public housing agencies to verify citizenship or immigration status before providing assistance and would add certain housing programs for the elderly and people with disabilities to the noncitizen eligibility restrictions.
