HUD would protect private details of people getting housing aid.

This bill would stop HUD from sharing people's immigration details. It would also make sure that other private information from those getting housing help can only be shared to confirm if they are eligible for aid. This means people getting housing assistance would have more privacy for their information.

What Would Change

Today, HUD can share details about people's immigration status. Also, there are no clear limits on how other agencies use shared data. If this bill becomes law, HUD would be banned from sharing immigration details. It would only be able to share other private data to confirm if someone is eligible for housing benefits.

Key Provisions

Stop HUD from sharing anyone's immigration details.
Require HUD to create a policy that only allows sharing private information from people getting housing aid to check if they are eligible for benefits or to decide their benefits.
Stop other agencies or groups from using HUD data for any reason other than checking benefit eligibility or deciding benefits.
Allow HUD to share information that doesn't identify individuals for research or for statistics.
Allow data sharing for ongoing crime investigations or to prevent an immediate danger to life.
Make it clear that sharing information to carry out non-criminal immigration laws is not allowed.
