Housing records would be protected from sharing for immigration enforcement without consent.

This bill would stop the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from sharing people's housing records for immigration enforcement. It means HUD could not share your information for these reasons without your written permission. HUD also could not force local public housing groups to share your records. This changes how personal housing data is currently handled for immigration checks.

What Would Change

Today, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) can share individuals' records for immigration enforcement under certain conditions. After this bill, HUD would be stopped from sharing these records for immigration actions. This would happen unless the person gives clear written permission. HUD also could not force local public housing groups to share them.
