Ban federal housing for unlawfully present immigrants

If enacted, the bill would bar any Federal funds from being used to give covered housing assistance to an alien unlawfully present in the United States. Covered help would include rental aid (security deposits, first-month rent, rental arrears, and application fees), housing vouchers, mortgage help, utility help tied to housing, hotel or motel stays, emergency or permanent housing, and stabilization services like eviction prevention and case management. The ban would not apply when funds are used to enforce the immigration laws or to enforce criminal laws. Each Federal agency would require fund recipients to certify compliance, monitor recipients, impose civil penalties, and make violators temporarily ineligible for Federal funds.
