Plain-English Summary

The federal government would be barred from sharing personal information about people living in public housing or receiving housing assistance with immigration enforcement agencies. This protects residents from having their housing records used to identify and deport undocumented immigrants, allowing people to access housing aid without fear that their data will be turned over to immigration authorities.
