This resolution would fast-track another bill, H.R. 1589, through the House of Representatives. It would automatically adopt an amendment to H.R. 1589, changing an important eligibility date for certain immigrants from January 1, 2017, to July 1, 2024. This change would allow more people to potentially qualify for cancellation of removal and adjustment of status.

This bill would require the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to study how work requirements affect families living in subsidized housing. The study would look at the benefits and challenges of these rules on people and housing agencies. This would give Congress information to understand the impact of these requirements. However, the study would only happen if the HUD Secretary determines it is feasible and won't harm low-income families.

This bill would let local organizations helping people without homes ask for more flexibility with federal funds.

It also protects people experiencing homelessness from being moved without new housing options.

This bill would repeal a 1996 law that currently stops state and local governments from limiting how their employees share immigration status information with federal authorities.

This bill would require the government to study if a single set of building rules across the country could make homes cheaper and better. This study would look at how a national code might affect local governments, builders, and people looking for homes. It's about gathering facts to see if a big change to building rules could help with housing costs and quality.
