## Summary

**Blocks federal housing assistance to people not lawfully present.** This bill would rewrite HUD rules so families must have every member's immigration status verified before any prorated aid and would tie Community Development Block Grant and HOME funding to cooperation with immigration enforcement. - Families and mixed-status households: It would bar prorated or partial housing aid while any family member's status is unverified and require verification for all household members regardless of age. - Local governments and nonprofits: It would prohibit HUD grants to states, local governments, Indian tribes, or NGOs that provide housing to persons who are neither nationals nor lawfully admitted for permanent residence and would condition CDBG and HOME funding on complying with 8 U.S.C. 1373, honoring ICE detainers, and providing advance notice of removable noncitizens' releases. - HUD operations and programs: The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development would implement the expanded verification rules and enforce grant eligibility limits across HUD programs, eliminating prorated assistance during pending verifications.
