Modifies 42 U.S.C. 5303 by replacing the existing introductory authorization language and adding a new subsection (b) that prohibits the Secretary from making grants to any State, unit of general local government, or Indian tribe if that entity carries out housing or community development programs that provide assistance to persons who are neither U.S. nationals nor lawfully admitted for permanent residence under section 101(a)(20) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Adds a new subsection (i) to Section 105 (42 U.S.C. 5305) prohibiting the use of any amount from a grant under section 106 made in fiscal year 2024 or any succeeding fiscal year to assist persons who are neither U.S. nationals nor lawfully admitted for permanent residence under INA section 101(a)(20).
This bill would block certain federal housing and community development funds from being used to help people who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. It targets HUD’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which sends money to states, local governments, and tribes for local projects. Under the bill, these CDBG dollars could not be used to assist non‑citizens who do not have a green card, and HUD could not award CDBG grants to any government that runs housing or community development programs that assist such individuals. The restrictions would apply starting with fiscal year 2024 and in future years.
