Bill > HR3472

This bill aims to protect the housing opportunities of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipients by preventing federal housing agencies and programs from discriminating against them based on their immigration status. Specifically, the bill prohibits the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Rural Housing Service, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac from denying or limiting mortgage insurance, guarantees, or purchases based on an individual being a DACA recipient. The bill defines a DACA recipient as an undocumented immigrant who, as of the bill's enactment, has received deferred action under the June 15, 2012 Department of Homeland Security memorandum, which provided temporary protection from deportation for certain individuals who came to the United States as children. Additionally, the bill clarifies that DACA recipients are eligible for housing assistance under the Housing and Community Development Act and ensures that veterans who are DACA recipients can still access housing loan benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs, regardless of their immigration status. This legislation seeks to provide housing stability and opportunity for individuals who were brought to the United States as children and have been granted temporary legal protection.
