Bill > HR50

This bill (the KAMALA Act) proposes to restrict the use of federal housing and community development grants to only U.S. nationals or legal permanent residents. Specifically, the bill prohibits grants provided under Section 106 of the Housing and Community Development Act from being used to assist individuals who are not U.S. citizens or legally admitted permanent residents in fiscal year 2024 and subsequent years. Additionally, the bill prevents the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from providing grants to any state, local government, or Indian tribe that operates any housing or community development program offering assistance to undocumented individuals. The legislation aims to limit federal housing assistance to only those with legal immigration status, effectively creating a barrier for undocumented immigrants to access certain federal housing and community development resources. By amending existing law, the bill seeks to more tightly control the allocation of federal housing funds and restrict their use to only those with documented legal presence in the United States.
