## Summary

**Ends FEMA's Shelter and Services Program for noncitizens in CBP custody.** This bill would bar FEMA from supporting sheltering or related activities by non‑Federal entities that aim to relieve overcrowding in U.S. Customs and Border Protection short‑term holding facilities, and it would rescind unobligated FEMA funds previously set aside for those purposes. - People in CBP short‑term holding facilities: Fewer federally supported shelter placements or transfers intended to ease overcrowding would be available. - Local governments, charities, and faith‑based groups: Cannot receive FEMA support for shelter space, facility improvements, or construction tied to relieving CBP overcrowding. - FEMA and federal funding: The bill would terminate FEMA's Shelter and Services Program and rescind unobligated balances that had been transferred to FEMA under two recent appropriations laws, reducing funds available for those sheltering activities.
