Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
This bill prohibits the Department of Housing and Urban Development from sharing personal information about housing assistance recipients with other agencies or entities except to verify eligibility or determine benefits. The legislation specifically prevents HUD from sharing immigration status information, which affects millions of people receiving federal housing assistance through programs like Section 8 housing vouchers and public housing. The bill includes narrow exceptions for anonymous statistical research, ongoing criminal investigations, and imminent threats to life, but explicitly blocks information sharing for immigration law enforcement purposes. The bill imposes no new funding requirements and would take effect upon enactment through a policy established by the HUD Secretary. This legislation aims to protect housing assistance recipients, particularly immigrants and mixed-status households, from having their information used against them in immigration proceedings.
