## Summary

**Restores DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipients' access to federal single-family housing programs.** This bill would prevent federal housing insurers, guarantors, and purchasers from making mortgage eligibility or purchase conditional on DACA status and it defines DACA recipients by reference to the June 15, 2012 DHS memorandum. - Families and households: DACA recipients would be able to use federally backed single-family mortgage insurance and guarantees and be eligible for housing assistance programs that refer to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980. This opens access to FHA, Rural Housing Service, and certain HUD-assisted programs for those defined by the stated DHS memo. - Housing market actors: The bill would bar FHA, the Rural Housing Service, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac from conditioning mortgage insurance, guarantees, or purchases on a borrower's DACA status. - Veterans: The law would make clear that VA home loan entitlement does not depend on whether a veteran is a DACA recipient.
