Plain-English Summary

The federal government would be prohibited from allowing the Department of Housing and Urban Development to share information about people's immigration status with other agencies or officials. This would protect the privacy of individuals applying for or receiving housing assistance, preventing HUD from disclosing whether someone is a citizen, legal resident, or undocumented immigrant to immigration enforcement agencies or other government departments.
